Hey guys I am new to this Jeep Forum. I am a BIG jeep fan
and I have just recently bought a 4.0L I-6 2004 jeep TJ
sport that has 88,000 km for a used dealer. I have a few
questions, 1) I hear a lot of rattling when I let go of my
clutch in neutral and I also hear something like a big belt
turning when the Jeep is moving is that normal 2) I want my
jeep to last for a long time so what can I do in terms of
maintenance to keep it in good condition and how do I know
if I have dana 44 rear axle?
Note how the dana 44 is a bit more lumpy shaped, and the
dana 35 is rounded like an egg
I hope this helpsSacramento Jeeper Group Member #4

Okay, first of all, that rattle that you hear when you take
your foot off the clutch is actually normal. All jeeps do
that. As for the belt sound, I'm not sure, but about the
dana 44 diff. Their should be a metal tab welded on to it
that will say dana 44 or dana 35.
Yeah I got a 01 automatic and it rattled when it was running
or driving come to find out it was the exhaust sitting to
close to theceoss member and it was vibrating when it as
cranked always start out with the cheapest solution first
hope it helped.
My rattle was the exhaust as well!
One other thing to check and is real easy.
See what plug it has. The 44 has a metal one the 35 has a
rubber plug.A person once told me i was driving beyond the capabilities of my vehicle - obviously they never seen the capabilities of a jeep!
like they said d44 has a lumpier shape with a metal plug
with a square hole for the tool...it was a good feeling the
day i looked under my jeep and saw that
