Dana 44

The Dana Spicer 44 is a type of axle for vehicles.  It is made by the Dana Corporation and is extensively used by both automobile manufacturers as well as in the aftermarket.  This axle was first created back in the 1940s for both the rear and the front and it is still used for both of those applications today.  This axle has also been made to be used as an independent suspension and a beam axle for setups for both the rear and the front.  In addition to that, there are even more variations of this axle that can be found.   

More than a baker’s dozen of the automobile manufacturers have used the Dana 44 axle in the making of their vehicles.  This does include Jeep – which makes 4 WD vehicles that feature the Dana 44 axle in both the rear and in the front.

Pinions and ring gears are used to make the axles and wheels spin backwards and forwards.  Their most often seen use is in vehicles where they are utilized to enhance the performance of the drive train while also providing more power to each of the wheels.

A set like this will come with a grooved ring that is connected to the axle between the rear wheels of your rig while the grooved pinion will connect to the actual drive shaft.  Any rig that is equipped with 4 Wheel Drive and even some of the older 2 Wheel Drive vehicles will come with these components.  However, when you want to increase the performance of your rig you can always get these sets that have a higher ratio for the gears.

The ring and the pinion work as a team in order to make torque as soon as the driver shifts the power to the drive wheels.  When the drive shaft spins, so does the pinion and then the ring and correspondingly, the wheels will also spin.  When you want more power to go to the wheels and more force to be created with ever spin then you need to get a ring and pinion set that has a higher ratio.  It is important to get them with the correct ratios so that they will work properly.

G2 Axle and Gear JK 4.88 Reverse Rotation Ring and Pinion Set for Dana 30


So we all know that G2 makes these ring and pinion sets for the driver who is entirely bent on performance.  These sets are made for high performance engines and larger than life tires.  They can tackle the most treacherous terrains on earth.  G2 knows this is what you want so they take 8620 steel and this is what the rings and pinions are forged from.  Once they have been made, they are then heat treated so that they will last quite a long time. These are the quietest yet strongest ring and pinion sets on the market today.

Features at a Glance

·         These sets come with a limited warranty that is good for a lifetime

·         These ring and pinion sets are double lapped as well as double shot peened

·         When you get one of these ring and pinion sets that are made by G2 you will be getting one that not only meets the O.E. specs but exceeds them

·         Meant for use with the Dana 30 axle for the front

·         Operation is quiet

·         Installation tolerances are consistent

·         These sets come in a wide variety of ratios and applications

So how do you identify them?

These components are easy to identify just by the shape of them.  The pinion kind of looks like a bolt that has a flared head on one of the ends.  The pinion actually fits onto the ring which looks like a circle that has crescent shaped teeth.  Most of the time, these parts will look alike but they will have a different ratio as well as a few other differences that are more subtle.  When you want to increase the performance of your rig, changing these out can be one of the simplest ways.

If you are trying to identify these parts by ratio and measurement then you will need to separate them so that you will be able to take their measurements.  Using calipers, get the measurements of both the pinion and the ring.  You will need the diameter of them precise to within a tenth of an inch.  Next, you will need a count of the teeth on both of them.  In order to figure out the ratio, take the number of the teeth that the pinion has and then divide that by the number that the rings has.

Use these measurements to find the sets that match.  The ratio and size between the pinion and the ring are typically unique to a part set and this can be utilized to locate the manufacturer when the manufacturer’s stamped code is no longer readable. 

All of the rings and pinions made by G2 will come in a set.
