Not a LSD???

[entropy]

do those numbers on the rear cover mean anything?

I don't think so, you can tell by the shape of the pumpkin if it is a dana 44 or not, and yours doesn't look like mine.

these people call it a 44!
No wonder everyone stays confused

I dont think you have the D44 I think thats a mistake. the D44 comes with the LSD package or manual tranny. You dont have either.

 

[Vinny1]

Oh I'm sure it's not a 44.

Do you happen to have an example of this? I read that if you have a manual transmission you're defaulted to a Dana 44 and would like to see when mine arrives

I have a Sport S with optional equipment of "Anti-Spin Rear Differential Axle" In other words LSD.
It is a Dana M220 Rear Axle.

Is this a 44?

LSDs reduce torque to a slipping wheel, and prevents torque from being sent to a single wheel, and most importantly for low traction situations, keeps both wheels in powered rotation at all times. Due to this improved functionality,a LSD can be a worthy upgrade for driving in snow, mud, and light duty of road. A LSD is functioning at all times and does not require driver selection or activation.

A Pro tip - in some instances, off road performance of a LSD can be improved with 'left-foot brake' driving technique or temporary and partial application of the emergency brake. These actions essentially trick the LSD into sensing traction (or resistance) with both wheels and not limiting torque to either wheel - pretty much creating a temporarily "locked"differential. Pretty rad trick if you ask me.

Happy Wheeling!

BLD does exactly that. it applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. Before BLD people had to use the brakes to limit slip. The cool thing is with the LSD once the BLD kicks in the LSD gets enough pressure to apply the clutch therefore locking your axle. It is reactive but works quite well and does not need driver input.

All terrain wheels? I can say this. It gets very good grip around town. You can hear the left rear tire gripping the road when turning. You know, like a lsd rear end. We were almost rear ended yesterday and when I saw it happening I stopped the gas pedal. The Jeep squatted and took off. Very little tire spin, and the road was wet.
I tried putting in my vin number but the website didn't recognize it.

the stock A/T Good years mine has are pretty good on pavement but that tire just doesn't have eough of a grip on rougher road ,specially rocky terrain

that makes sense, this is a great off roading tip
