Differences in Rear-end gearing if any.
 

Have a 2182 the bolts holding the rear-end to the frame are busted out. Found a cheap 1440 with what appears to be a pristine rear-end (IE-not busted out where the bolts that hold it to the frame are.)

Is the gearing the same for a direct swap? I will be doing the SamMac mods and new gaskets and seals. Just wanting to clarify that the gearing and such are going to be the same. Don't have a problem swapping them out if need be.

Thanks in advance.

Supers are geared different. Not a direct swap.
Rear end braces do wonders
Sam will be along shortly to help, he’s the expert

The 1440 has a Hydrogear trans and a 2182 has a Sundstrand trans. The reduction housings are different. So I hope you didn't buy it yet.:beerchug:

All I really need is the axle housings. They should I hope bolt up to the 2182 housing.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant the front mounts. Axle tubes are the same.

That's what I thought. Just wanted to confirm that was the case.

Thanks.

Yep tubes will swap, axles will also work. diff should play. While you have it apart drill some oil return holes in the main case. I also recommend a set of Xtreme SGT rear end braces.

Here is some light reading for you.

Do you have it apart yet? There's a chance the holes in the main housing are broken too, or stripped, or bolt(s) broken off.

Don't have it apart yet. After about 6 months finally getting started on it. But it will be coming out next week. I know for sure the axle tubes are broken out where the frame bolts go. those are visible with a little light shining into the bolt holes.

I have your threads bookmarked. Been reading and studying off and on over the last few months when I haven't been remodeling the house or repairing things for my dad. :beerchug:
