Dana 44 trac loc question?
Did you eventually get that D44 trac loc from the jeep and put it in your truck? I am about to do the same thing and i want to be sure it will work out. The only thing that makes me wonder is that since the ford uses the dana 44 as a front axle it uses reverse rotation gears, and i just wasnt sure if the carriers were different between them too. I was looking at new ones and i se separate ones listed for standard and reverse rotation, so it leads me to believe that a trac loc from a jeep may not be interchangeable. I was just wondering if you were able to do it. thanks.

The carriers are the same, I read from another post.
Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .
Check out my Gallery for a look-see.
Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Superduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Top speed is 65mph, Go Baby Go!

Dana 44 trac loc question?
bad news....its not going to fit. the short stub axle on the passanger side uses a c clip to retain itself. a jeep trac loc won't have the indent milled into the side gears for the c clip. you could change the side gears, but that adds up rather quickly. The side gears are fairly expensive.

Thanks for clearing that up, you saved me from making a very expensive mistake. I was cautious about listening to everyone say they are the same because after seeing that dana listed separate carriers for standard and reverse rotation, i knew there had to be a difference. Thanks for clearing that up.
