Some one i know offered to sell me a used rear end!!! Its dyna 44 with disc brakes don't know what the gears are but will find out soon!! Don't know much about rear ends how much do u think it is worth!!

 

I pay $1600 plus shipping new from Summit (heavy duty dana 44).....a year after that they had the same rear for $450....only difference was the gears...3.54-3.27

It's easier to find parts for the Dana44 than it is a 9 bolt. The Dana has 8.5 ring gear so It's the strongest diff offered by the factory for a third gen. Too bad they don't offer them any more. I think the original Canadian price was somewhere between $1500 and $2000. Considering that diff isn't new and you have no idea what kind of condistion the gears, carrier or axles are in, I'd say $750 or less would be a good deal.

You can get a complete 9" without the center section (dime a dozen anywhere) or brakes for about $1500 Canadian delivered to your door. So don't over pay for a Dana44. It's a nice diff if the price is right.

The Dana will have 10 bolts on the rear cover and a metal fill plug in the back cover.
