Are all Detroit Lockers the same for a Dana 44,
front, rear, old, and new?
Are their any spline changes for these different applications?
I just bought an XJ Dana 44 and if I come across a
used Detroit Locker I need to know.

Not all Detroits are alike. There are No-spin and Softlockers. Then in the late 90's they made most of their lockers Softlockers but got rid of the name. So depending on the age, it could be a old Detroit or a newer Softlocker. Softlockers are a bit smoother and don't make much noise.
There are other differences though. Gear breaks still apply. I think it's 3.xx down and 4.10 up. There are also different spline counts. 19 and 30. 19's are for older D44's from the CJ5.
