The BTR pumpkin is the same one that has been in the Coupe from the begining and it was just a production change over to make sure they would have a continuing supply.

My initial feeling would have been the Dana unit would be better, but I recently broke a Dana 44 in my 03 Jeep Wrangler running a stock motor with 33's and a fairly mild lift. I have not had a problem on my SPF with A LOT more hp and torque so who knows. I think Dana still makes a hell of a product but in might not be any stronger than the 8.8 Ford (unless you go with Dana 60 parts). |
