Whats up guys so i have the opportunity to purchase a Dana 44 rebuilt with whatever gears i want and posi for $ 1500.00 just wondering if i should go for it
If i go for it i will have my 10 bolt for sale out of my B4C minus the disk brakes of course real cheap for you guys to fight over LOL.

 

It's a thirdgen D44?

 

Yes it is a 3G

 

I put a quote together for you.

Your choice of ratio, 373,410 whatever $299
TrueTrac Posi or Auburn Gear $499
Bearing & Seal kit $200
Fluid $50
Labor $400
Total $1450+tax

 

Hey hows it going? What gear ratio is in the 10 bolt?

 

The RPO says 3.42 i haven't looked at the tag on the rear end but ill bet its the 3.42 this car was not altered from stock that i can see.

 

Cool so it looks like I'm getting the d44 housing for free

 

Where did you find one? That's a good set up.

 

Thats top secret info Bennie if i tell you ill have to kill you
Its in the bay area he only has one are you interested in my 10 bolt with the 3.42 i remember you talking about the gears when i saw you in san jose.

 

It's funny how price is set by the area the parts are located in. You guys jump up and down for a $1500 rear. I have had a Dana 44 sitting on the shop floor for 2 years now (new 3.73 gears, fresh posi, Aluminum cover and stud kit, 90-92 PBRs with brake lines and parking brake cables, Global west relocation brackets tig welded on and even 1310 and 1350 yokes with a new crossover u-joint to fit your stock drive shaft.) and poeple down here walk right by it and will not come up with the $800 for it.

 

Hell Jerry i would drive to So cal for that rear end only problem is my truck is in Oregon and i kinda wanted to stay with the 3.42 but the 3.73 might work OK with the t5 how much to swap it out ill drive the camaro down there.

 

Jerrywho, PM sent.

 

so the dana 44 bolts right in place of the 10 bolt and hooks up with all stock components or what? i never heard about these for 3rd gens.

 

Dana 44 were used in SLP Firehawks. They were also used as a replacement for warranty works on some third gen that broke the rearend. I may be wrong but I'm sticking to my story.

 

correct. you could also buy them from gmpp for a while, but they no longer sell them

 

wow. Okay so I'll have to start keeping an eye out for one in the future. I always worry about the 10 bolt going out especially as I get faster slowly..

 

Hahaha. So what did you end up getting? Did you pull the trigger? I was gonna get Jerrywho's but someone beat me to it. Sucks for me. lol oh well keep looking.......
