Dana 44,confirming ratio,part number
I recently got a Dana 44 that came in 2 pices.What I was wondering is how do you confirm the ratio and age of the unit.The rear cover has a part number of 14105120 which the dealer says does not exist.
The ring gear does have a date of 1-20-89 on it with a bunch of other Dana numbers.Also was wondering if all 44 rear covers fit all 44 differentials.
I can not find any markings on the differential case.
Thanks

If you don't find the ratio that way, I can deal with the Dana part number stamped on the gears. The Corvette diff is a Dana model 44ICA. All the Corvette 44 diffs have the same rear cover bolt pattern, but I am quite sure that is different from the conventional, Dana 44, solid axle, diff cover, bolt pattern.
