ok, my drain plug is in the rear cover. but what about
the "spicer" axles that i keep gettin told it should
be from the parts stores? none, i mean NONE of the
parts stores  here, or online show amc 15. either
spicer 27A, or spicer 53.

A: I forgot to check while at work, but the Spicer 53 is nearly the same as 
a Dana 60 (definitely size wise as they share covers) As for the 27A, unless 
it uses a different cover from Dana 27, then it's not the same as a Model 
15.

Called up Rockauto about this stuff. Same mistakes listed on their site so I 
was patched through to their techie dude. He started in telling me they had 
it right and I told him to find the nearest Jeep in their parking lot (he 
did it on his cell phone) and look at the cover and look at NAPA number NGA 
P27801

Rockauto's currently listed stuff
Dana 53 cover gasket

Dana 27AR cover gasket

Correct stuff

Model 15/D35 gasket NGA (line code) P27801 (part #)

Model 20 gasket NGA P37830

are they the same thing,
just a different name for them maybe? if it actually
is the amc 15, how hard would it maybe be to adapt
dana 35 one piece, none c clip axle shafts, and maybe
later model drum brakes, that parts are more availible
and cheaper for, or did the 35 come with disk brakes
that might fit before they went to the mopar flange?

A: The D35 didn't come with disc brakes till '94 in the Grand Cherokee (late 
'93 actually but parts stores don't list them)

my mysteryous noise i thought was a bearing is
noticeably quieter now. i guess maybe it was all the
gunk in the tranny.

they closed post today case we got about 2" of snow.
ft sill gets a little dusting of snow, and post is
closed. now i got all day, and no idea what im going
to do...

A: In my case, I own a Jeep so I always have something to do! (Drive it or 
fix it when I have a dry place to work with)
