Allright so i went to a professional gear shop to have them check out my truck. The guy looked at it and thought it was a Dana 44. He then had the other guy take a look at it and he wasn't too sure so they wrote down the number on it and called Dana. They found out that none of their gears would fit it and it would have to be a nissan gear only which means that even if nissan had it it would be freakin expensive. I forgot what he said the difference was something have to do with 3 pongs instead of 2 or something like that. Anyways the moral of the story is if you wanted to swap out your gears it seems it would be pretty expensive and best to wait a year or so to see what comes out. I just don't understand why nissan just didn't put a true Dana 44 in there cuz there would be so many parts that would be so cheap.
