i have a dana 44 front axle 3/4 ton but to the drivers side of the inspection plate is has 44-8f or 44-Bf... i can't tell the 8/B is marred from rock abuse. whats these letters for?... and another question...whats the difference between a dana 44 front and a corporate 10 bolt? both have 10 bolts in the inspection plate and it looks as though the plates are interchangeable... are the inner axles, knuckles, and gears swappable?
