This document is in progress, these are my notes so far.

Mid 70's Ford F100 will have a 61" wide 44 but it will be 5X5.5
87 88 and 89 With the Factory Towing package XJ's had these.

'81 or newer full size Waggoneer.
Do NOT get the front from an '83 - '84 with vacume disconnect.
There are two widths to Waggy axles 60 inch wms to wms or 65 wms wms
there is not a 65" waggy 44 front. yes the wide track cherokees may have a front d44 in the 65" ball park but noth the waggys. the waggys had the 61" fronts and 59" rears and the narrow track cherokees were the same. the wide track cherokee had the wider axles

narrow-track Wagoneers had Dana44 axles that were 58.4" WMS to WMS

75-79 are passenger side pumpkin, disk brake, (my 76 had flattopped knuckles)

80-91 are driver side pumpkin disk braked.
2.72,3.08,3.54 are the most common gear ratios Ive seen.

some 80 and newer had a vacum disconnect you should steer clear of.

they are considered half ton,

the rears 79 and older are dana 44s, mostly offset ( Quadratrack) but some where centered.

80-85 ( or 86) where amc20 rears, but heavy duty, way better than the CJ amc20, some or all after 85 ( or 86) where centered dana 44 rears again

all rears 1980 and later were centered.

6 lugs = half ton 8 lugs = 3/4 ton ( in this era of Jeeps)

the narrow tracks are 62-63 front
59-60 rear

wide tracks are 65 front, 63 rear.

If it has fenderflares on it.. its a wide track.
If the fenders are molded into the sheetmetal.. its a narrow track.

vin
J means Jeep
6 the year of manuafactur ( 1976)
A ( A = auto, F = 3 speed stick, M= 4 speed stick)
16 means its a narrow cherokee, 17 would be widetrack chero
15 would be a wag,`18 would be a 4 door cherokee
N ( GVW n=6200,e=4150,p=6800)
N (n=3602v,z=401)

**They put in narrow tracks until 1979. In 1980 the went wide track.
Wide Track Wagoneer axles are driverside diff. They came out in 1980. The Narrow track Wagoneer axles are passengerside diff and were put in until 1979.
cherokees can be wide or narrow, and they were made that way from the mid 70s until the late 80s, before 1980 there were wide and narrow versions of the cherokee, they all had passenger sidfe diffs. 1980 and later were all drivers side diff, and narrow or widetrack

before 1979 there were ONLY narrow versions of the wagoneer, they had passenger side diffs
after 1980 there were ONLY narrow versions of the wagoneer, with drivers side diffs.


wagoneer thats a model 15, a model 16 is a cherokee narrow track.

cherokee wide tracks are 65 inches wide (WMS-WMS) just like a Jtruck.

Scout rear d44's are about 58" WMS-WMS, 3/16 tube
