Rear Size?

How can you tell if your car came with the Dana 44?

My car is Auto, would it be worth installing 410 gears in the d36? Should I buy a d44 first before intalling 410's?

Thanks,

Eric

Dont know of anyone who makes a 4.10 gearset for a D36, nothing lower than 3.73 is made to my knowledge. You shouldnt do it even if you could.

D44 upgrade required.

The answer depends ENTIRELY on what you plan to use the car for.

3.73

410s in a dana 36 with an auto is a lil high if you plan on cruising on the street, i have 373s in my 92 dana 36 auto lt1 and what a diff in performance and it stilll cruises nice and gets 18 mpg if i dnt get on it, also if u plan to drag ur car with slicks and a higher stal converter the rear wnt last as long as a stronger dana 44 but also the dana 44 conversion can get a lil exspensive lmk if you have any questions mike
