G2 Dana 44


If you are new to the world of off roading and the parts involved, then you might be wondering what a G2 Dana 44 is.  In fact, you might be wondering about a lot of the terminology.  I will give you a hint on where to find off road terminology definitions and where to get your G2 Dana 44. 

G2 is a company that manufactures axles and gears for Jeeps and other off road vehicles.  They are a subsidiary of Genuine Gear.  Now, if you do an internet search for Genuine Gear, you will only find their parts…not a web site for them specifically.  However, the G2 website can easily be found and this is where you need to go.  The web site is quite comprehensive and even offers an encyclopedia of off road terms!  This obviously is a great help to the newbies out there.  

While you are on the G2 site, take a look around at the different kinds of front and rear axles they offer as well as the differentials and other parts you might have a need for. 

G2 Dana 44

G2 is the main brand here.  Dana Spicer is yet another company that manufactures off road parts…after-market off road parts to be exact.  Dana is a much respected name in the field.  Dana and G2 have teamed up to makes the G2 Dana 44 axles. 

These axles are extremely tough and have been designed and tested thoroughly to ensure that they can stand up to whatever kind of terrain you choose to use them on.  They have a Big Spline option available which basically means that the diameter of the shafts is larger in order to add strength to the axles.  They also have a dual bolt pattern and to help with corrosion and wear resistance they are coated with black oxide.  The studs on these axles are threaded too.

All of that and these axles still come in at less than the leading competition…and they hold up better to boot!

Warranty

All G2 parts come with warranties and guess what…Dana 44 is included in that.  Warranty information will be found in one of two places.  The first place to look is the packing material.  The other option is in the installation instructions.  Either way, your part has a warranty and you should familiarize yourself with it. 

Check out their web site for further specifications and information.
