Question; you say 3.45, that is the axle ratio, is this an entire rear end or just the batwing. (Item on the right in the pic.)

The rear end with the Bat wing attached, I used it for a while & then put another in with diff. gears. There is nothing wrong with this one, no noises.

Depending on mileage, they go for $650- $1,200.

605491 isn't a 3.45 "only" identifier. A 605491-3 would be an identifier for a 3.45 ratio.

Value would be dependent on miles, how long has it sat and in what kind of an environment. There could be a considerable swing in value depending upon those specifics. Assuming a person needs to do bearings, seals and a clutch pack maybe not as much as you'd like to think.

I wouldn't consider $650 for anything that has sat for a considerable period of time in a questionable environment.

OK thanks that gives me an idea. FYI it has sat indoors in my loft area at work covered & dry. Pulled it out of my car around three years ago no leaks at the time & still dry underneath where it has been stored.
Thanks again

I see those go for about $1k.

Remember the d44 is desireable (vs. D36 in autos)

Good luck
