    Default Wanted: High Pinion Dana 30 with 4.10 Gears



    Hello all,

    I am trying to hunt down a High Pinion Dana 30 front axle from a Jeep XJ with 4.10 gears. I am looking specifically for the "Non-disconnect" version that was available from about 1990 through 1999. This gear ratio was offered with the 2.5L engine with manual transmission, and I'm told 2 doors often had that combo.

    I've already been to 4 Local junk yards, and looked through 25 to 30 XJs, all 4.0s, except I saw one 2.8L GM V6 w/ 3.73. Worse case scenario Ill just have to regear a HPD30 to 4.10, but because of budget and time restraints I am doing everything I can to find one already set up with those gears to bolt in.

    Please let me know if you have a lead, or know of a good yards that may have this unicorn. Also, I am not opposed to pulling it myself, I'd kinda prefer it actually ($$).

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the tip!

    I just took a look and I saw 2 XJ d30s with 4.88 gears and 1 YJ d30 with 4.10.

    That looks like a good resource though!

    Thanks for thinking of me.

    That is a Dana 30 from a YJ. YJs used leaf springs so it doesn't have the coil spring perches or control arm mounts.

    I did consider welding the brackets on and swapping the knuckes for disc brakes, but thats way too much messing around!

    That is pre-YJ because it has a passenger side differential.

    Drum brakes also indicate pre-YJ. Actually not even latest CJ as those went disk as well. Guessing its later 70s cj - but 4.10 gears would not be original. If its 4.27s were an option for the intermediates - but later cjs would have had higher gears so swaps to 4.10 were common. Wonder what the track width is - can't remember if the wide track cj7s were when the disk brakes started or not. But a good working D30 with 4.27s has a bit of value in the old cj world.

    Since I'm not having much luck finding a decent price on a 4.10 HPD30, I am looking for quotes to re-gear a 3.55 HPD30 to 4.10. I will supply new inner axle seals, used carrier, and ring & pinion. The axle will be out of the jeep and I can bring it to you at your shop, or you can do the work in my garage if need be.


    I also made a posting in Member skills, but thought this might be a better location?

    I'm sure it is out of my price range since it from Rubicon, but what the hell - How much?

    I guess I should update this post. Plans have changed a bit. I purchased a HP30 housing that has been cleaned up and painted and I also purchased 4.56 USA Standard gears and master rebuild kits for both the HP30 and the Ford 8.8 rear.

    I found a local guy in lakewood that is quoting me $300 per axle to re-gear and he will also warranty the work. I'll probably be going to him but I'm open to suggestions and quotes.

    Thanks for the input though!
