The rear is definitely a Dana 44. The front is a Dana 27, I think. No reason why it couldn't be just another Dana 44, except that the MM540DP 4x4, uses the same mechanicals as an early 'sixties Jeep CJ-5. (The kind used in the Howard Hawks 1962 movie "Hatari!" starring John Wayne, Hardy Krüger, Elsa Martinelli, Red Buttons).
I'd fitted my Mahindra MM540DP4wd with Warn lockable free-wheeling hubs. That was eons ago.
The petrol Jeeps had 4.27:1 differentials.
The MM540 4wd had 4:88:1 differentials
and the longer wheelbase Commanders have 5:38:1 differentials.
Hope this helps. |
Thanks ram!
I assume that M&M would have kept the differentials on the 340, the same as that on the 540... Unless anyone knows otherwise.
Btw, I'm looking at picking up the kit for Air Operated Locking Differential from ARB (not free-wheeling hubs). Its expensive, but does have a lot of benifits over the standard lockers.
