 Dana 44 ring gear engraving So, tonight I finally got around to opening a Dana 44 I picked up several months ago. The good news it is a 4.09 ratio with Trac-Loc.
While checking things out on the inside, I found an "A202" hand engraved into the outside of the ring gear. Anyone have any idea what that might mean? I'm thinking it was done by a PO. I'm just curious if it sounds like it would be pertinent to the set up or something.

Re: Dana 44 ring gear engraving It was probably done during manufacturing to identify the pinion gear matched to it.

Re: Dana 44 ring gear engraving Yep usually you will find the same phase engraved on the pinion to signify the pair. Also I use to see a +2 or -1 hand engraved on the end of the pinion. This was to show the approximate pinion depth during setup, unfortunately it seems gear manufacturers have stopped doing this.

Re: Dana 44 ring gear engraving I have a feeling, based on the slop in this set up, that it's probably an OEM set up.
