found this onlineI have a 2021 Mojave. RCV performance is telling me the Mojave has the wide axle so they say the Front axle kit is the CVj44-JT-FAD-MAX.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks
Reviving an old thread, but @cayman42 did you buy the RCV front axle? How has your experience been? This is an upgrade I'd love to get to get rid of crab-walk.I have a 2021 Mojave. RCV performance is telling me the Mojave has the wide axle so they say the Front axle kit is the CVj44-JT-FAD-MAX.

I know you didn't ask for it, but here's my 2 cents. DO IT. I've had RCVs in my 08 JK for about 5 or 6 years and just bought a 21 JTRD with the stock shafts. I absolutely forgot about how harsh the ujoints feel. RCVs are 100% on my wish list for the new truck.Reviving an old thread, but @cayman42 did you buy the RCV front axle?

Were you able to get anything for your used Dana 44?
No worries - that's absolutely the feedback I'm looking for. If I could get a little for the used Dana 44 I already have (stock JTR), that would make the decision easier.I know you didn't ask for it, but here's my 2 cents. DO IT.

I completely deleted everything and put a blank plate over the hole for the fad.Fluid level correct in the diff?
The only other thing that I can think of is the FAD delete. You bolted the FAD back in place. Without the sleeve of course. Just have the fork on the FAD sticking into the axle housing. Or you completely eliminated everything?
Yes, it has the proper fluid in the deaf as well.I completely deleted everything and put a blank plate over the hole.
That's why you hear it. With out the fad the front drive shaft spins, you will have to remove caster to adjust for that, somewhere in the 4* will probably get rid of the drive line vibrations. Removing the fad is really for more trailer queens as these usually need more caster than is comfortable for highway speeds.I completely deleted everything and put a blank plate over the hole for the fad.

thanks for the heads up. I was hoping it was just something like that instead of a bearing or some other catastrophic issue.That's why you hear it.

Easy way to check is find a really straight road, toss it in 4h if it sounds the same it's your drive shaft humming away, mine does above 45.

I mean it could be, but it's more likely you are hearing the drive shaft and getting drive line vibrations, especially since it's at higher speeds.thanks for the heads up. I was hoping it was just something like that instead of a bearing or some other catastrophic issue.
