D44 rubicon air locker

[xjjeeper19]

I have a factory rubicon air locker for a D44, 30 spline shafts but does require the use of a "thick" gear set. This is the front version which is an open/locked version. I have a set of new carrier bearings for it and I might be able to dig up some pinion bearings too. I do not have the air actuator for it, but I will try and get one for it. These operate on lower presure than an ARB, only 5 psi will lock it up.

$350 firm, I don't need to sell this, and if it doesn't sell I'm just going to keep it... not looking for any trades right now either.


I'll get some pics up tomorrow

i want it. PM sent

 

[xjjeeper19]

I still have this, I'm waiting to here back from 99xjache.

Here is a pic, I did get a brand new actuator for it so I have: Air locker, air actuator, carrier bearings, and ring gear bolts

 

[99xjache]

Still want it. Im trying to verify that this will fit in my 78 ford HP housing. Does anyone know?

Most likely not, unless you can get a "thick" HP44 gear set, or a ring gear spacer. This does use the bigger 7/16's ring gear bolts

I put one in a xj 44. So if a xj carrier will fit a Ford 44 it should.

 

[JXPEEJ]

Oh yeah...what he said.

when you did your brothers did you run the shim inside the bearings like a normal 44 or the big shims on the outside like the newer 44 Stuff?

 

[JXPEEJ]

Little shims. Under the bearings.

 

[99xjache]

im going to have to pass on this one. Sorry

 

[xjjeeper19]

Bump>>>

This is air driven and not electric right? Does that mean a compressor needs to be purchased? You also mentioned you now have the air actuator, is that the compressor? I have a D44 out of an 06 Rubicon in my front end right now with a Detroit true trac and I have not been real happy with the true trac. It's just a glorified limited slip and it kinda sucks. I might be interested in switching to a selectable locker if there isn't a lot more additional cost.

All you would need is an air source. Something that can be regulated down to 5 psi. you can get the compressor from the dealer but it's pricey. All you would need is a small air tank, compressor, regulator, and air solenoid/valve and it will work. I have everthing else to install it.

At $350 I was going to be REALLY tight. Adding an air tank, compressor, regulator, and air solenoid is going to put be way beyond what I can afford right now. I may be able to pull some money together over the next couple months. I will shoot you a PM when my funds are up to par with the cost of this mod. If you still have it at that point then maybe we can work something out.

Get a small ARB compressor (like 129 new) and a 7$ air regulator

That's probably what I will do, but $500 total is still outside of what I can afford right now. I just need a little more time to pull some funds together.

Last BUMP before I keep it... any takers?

 

[bhicks]

I'm out. I decided to put the money I have been saving into a 9 hole disc golf course in the creek behind my place. I have been wanting to do it for a few years and just decided to go for it.

OK, I lied... maybe one more week....
