You guys notice 2018+ jl jeep wranglers and the chevy colorado /gmc canyon also run the m220?

How odd thay all the american truck companies run the same rear axle on their midsized trucks?

Good for us but still odd

I know this is an older thread, but I don’t find it all that odd. Ford, chevy and dodge all had their own variants of the Dana 60 and Dana 44 front and rear differentials for years. I noticed earlier today while looking at ring and pinion sets, that some sets were labeled as GM only, others did not specify which auto manufacturer.

Not odd at all. Proven Dana units make sense.

I'm about to put a secondhand ARB M220 cover on mine that I bought after a guy pulled it from his Jeep.

My former '06 Frontier with the manual transmission had a version of the D44 rear axle.

Does anyone know if the Ford performance bolt on pinon ring fits the Eaton truetrac diff in addition to the Ford Trackloc diff unit? I'm looking at pinions and I can't tell which of all the m220 ones fit/don't fit...

I haven’t done it, but from what I’ve been reading the ring and pinion for a m220, m210 will bolt right up to the truetrac limited slip differential.
