The earlier models are prone to cracking on the frame just above the front spring hangers of the rear springs. I saw more than a few of the CDN2 with these cracks. The CDN3 had plates added to the inside of the frame in this area. I never saw a CDN 3 crack in that area.
Other improvements, besides the larger self actuating (and adjusting) brakes, were the fine spline one piece rear axle shafts, the closed hood hinges, and the solid state turn signals, although the vast majority had those installed by the time the Jeeps left service.
