Would a late 80's, guessing an 87-89 Commanche 4.0L have a D44 under it? I believe it was manual trans.

woody said:They are out there... mine is an 89 Pioneer LWB, 4.0/5spd peugot. It has/had the 44, and the three factory skid plates (fuel tank, transer case, steering) but no front tow hooks or HD tow hitch - just a step bumper :dunno:
Mine came sporting a 1.5"x3" decal on the lower right rear glass, where Jeep called it a "Big Ton - 2205 lbs." (at least regionally in the SE they did.) If a prospective truck has this decal... it likely has or came with one.
csr_011 said:I will have to go and look, it was a longbed, not sure if it was a 4x4 or not, just took a glance as i was driving by. If it has the skids and such, will they fit on the Cherokee?? I may have found a goldmine!!

Same width as what? All MJs are the same width and the axles swap from longbed to shortbed with no problems.csr_011 said:So are the wheel bases the same width? Is it direct fit?

Eagle said:In general, the D44 was used with the Metric Ton package, which was an option on the long bed models. A very few short beds also got the D44 as part of other option packages, but the Metric Ton package was not offered on the short beds.
In general, if it's a long bed the chances of a D44 are probably about 20% to 25%, if it's a short bed the chances are more like 5%.
I doubt I'll buy the whole thing. The body & interior are shot. It has 188K on it & the oil looks like it was changed around 100K ago. Tranny fluid doesn't look much better. Trans. is mounted to the crossmember with a ratchet strap. I believe the X-case is in need of a rebuild since it pops out in high & low. But the 44 should be an easy rebuild.
