i do beleave the newer 8.25's had lsd,as for the d 44 it has only ONE spline more than the 8.25 so the strenght differance is not enough to worry about. another thing is the 8.25 is far easier to find than a d 44 when it comes to something that will bolt right up without mods of any type. even if it does break,wit the amount of them that can be found parts are fairly cheap.

out of all the jeeps in this town the d**n gremlin had to invade mine

I've done so much,with so little for so long i can practicly do anything with nothing
