Ring And Pinion Question...
The C4 Manual trans differential is an aluminum case Dana 44.
My Jeep Grand Cherokee has an aluminum case Dana 44.
Does the ring and pinion from one Dana 44 aluminum case diff fit another?
I know that they do not interchange from a regular Dana 44 Iron case...but I was wondering...if nobody knows...who can I contact?

C4 manual trans 85-96 and vapors use a crossbred D44/D60 with the D60 pinion shaft...an industrial bearing supply house can do a small bit of research and provide readily available bearings to install the truck D44 pinion, the truck d/s yoke and seal fit the vette case (BTDT)

I wanted to use the information from the OP's GC for an example after a check of his build BUT in a "general response" for some GC builds yes the "ring and pinion gear set is a fit". The D44HD is used in some ZJ builds. One of the most popular gear sets for the D44HD "Vette/Viper" is an OE build for the ZJ.
The gear set 707381-4X is a 3.73 from a Dana build 605735-2, 605962-2 (trac-lok) and 605735-3, 605962-3 (open).
There's a less popular 707381-3X which is a 3.55 that will do also.
Is the OP's a FIT? I don't know and I asked for information to confirm before I just "tossed BS information" out there.
