    Posted: 27 Aug. 2019 at 4:21pm
i remember about 10 years ago I found a chart or something that showed what gear ratios were in certain years of certain axles.  Does anyone know where I can find that info?

Specifically, I'm looking for what years and models had a rear D44 with 5.38's.  I thought it was early CJ5's...

My rear ring gear is missing some teeth now and I thought it might be cheaper just to replace the axle.

D44 with 5.38 was standard from 1951 through 1962 for all CJ's. 
4.27 DR became standard with all CJ's having F134 engines after mid year 1963.
5.38 DR remained as a D44 option from 1963 through 1971.

Early gear sets were Salibury while later D44 gear sets were Dana Spicer.
Early D44 have 10 spline, milled axle shafts.
Most axles (a few exceptions) installed after late 1956 were 19  spline involute, prior to mid 1970.
