Dana 44, m210,220 clarification?

[starrskream]

Yes I searched, and barely find much that does not confuse me further.

I have a 2023 rubicon. The window sticker says “HD DANA 44” front and rear. I have everything option wise except the lane sensors, trail cam and aux switches.

I’m looking to buy new diff covers and I see a lot of “m210/220” as options when selecting my vehicle on websites.
Is there an easy way to tell what I have?

I see a lot of videos saying the gasket is re-useable. Though some covers I can’t reuse it because it will run the trac bar?

also, any input on best covers?
I looooooove the dv8 ones, sadly they seem to not be for my year. Arb sounds solid, not a fan of the looks or lack of vent ridges. I do not want a flat back cover. (That banks video was super helpful!)

Front is 210 and 220 for the rear. Gaskets is reusable. I went with Dana covers.

This is what I bought for my '20 Overland. I never got around to installing them before I traded it in. They are still sitting on a shelf.

Im using the ARB from this site as an example, but this is common on many sites.
its stuff like this that makes me a tad crazy trying to ensure im ordering the right parts even though i selected front, all the options remain. Same thing for rear.

the two reasons im even considering this is drain plugs and upgrading from aluminum. I'm just now hitting 20k and going to swap fluids in both diffs and t case. just to get all that break in metal out of there and pop in fresh fluids. so may as well upgrade covers at the same time.

It does not help that just about all the vendors use the older 10 Bolt DANA 44 ARB ad copy pictures for the 12 bolt M210/M220 listings. So long as you are selecting M210 and M220 and the part numbers are right, you will get the correct covers.

I really like ours, but I should. LOL
I like the way the front has an integrated glide plate.
Works on your application too.

I believe all you need to be concerned with is that you get the M210 and M220 covers as they are all the same for these axles. When you are looking at axle shafts etc then you need to be more particular as there are differences among models.

I always purchase stuffs by the part numbers whenever possible. Stock photos don't mean anything.
