Dana 44?

the Final drive ratio on a titan IS 3.35/6. That is the final drive. 3.35 turns of the drive shaft per turn of the wheels.

However, the titan also has a 4.x:1 first gear in the auto tranny. Whereas the 1st gear on a E40D/4R100 on a Bronco/F150/F250/F350 SuperDuty E150 E250 E350 etc...is 2.72:1. See the difference? The titan makes up for the lack of rear end gearing.



The smaller the gear ratio (so lower numerically) the smaller your ring gear, which is why titans blow so many rear diffs. If it had 4.55's it would start snapping other things instead of grenading the gears

that is exactly what I was thinking...and iirc the manual tranny has a lower first gear than the auto (tried to check but apparently they decided to chang nissannews and I cant find the specs anymore.)

[Inyourface1650]

According to Nissan news automatic first gear is 3.8:1 and manual is 4.4:1 (rounded)

as for the D44 part of the argument, historically D44's break two things, ring gears and axle shafts. Axle shafts you get in chromoly ( hehe) and the only way to reduce ring gear breakages is reduce gear ratio. The bigger gear is stronger. (so 4.11 are stronger then 3.13's). D44s do NOT really have a problem with pinions breaking....

I dont have the nismo package, just wondering if I have the same rear eand or not. Looking to put a locker in if possible. I dont mind pulling the cover off to count the splines but I would like to know what it is for reference. Thanks

if you dont have a nismo but you have a manual SE then you should have the M226 (modified d44), otherwise, you dont. as for adding the nismo locker, from what I gather, the hole for the wire is missing AND they machine down some parts to make it all fit AND nissan will not sell you the locker. they will however sell you the whole axle for about $3k (or you could find one in a boneyard for probably half of that).

I'm just wanting to find out what I have so I can find a lock rite locker.

All the Titan pre runners with 37's are running that gear ratio with the tru trac and are very happy with them. Along with an auto tranny it makes out to be a 4.56 and should be plenty of gearing for are v6's with 35's. I'm running 35's with my auto nismo right now and other then the 13.5 mpgs, I have no complants. Give a call there and ask for Anthony and he'll fill you in.

so there is a way to get gears for the c200's? cuz i have an 05 2wd with an auto and running 33s and i need something. would it be better so swap in a m226 or a d44 or what? i am also interested in getting a tru-trac or some lsd
