140-Miles from home . . . HELP !


Recommended Posts

:rotf: Next time ? ! ? :rotf:

There shouldn't be a next time, This D35 is getting replaced with an AMC-20 from a 74' Javelin :wrench: The AX4 is getting replaced with an AX15 :wrench: and the AMC-150 will be replaced by an AMC-343 :wrench:

 

The D35 to AM-20 might just happen sooner then planned, Do they offer such a unit for the AM-20 cause I may run that style from the get go ;)

Yes, they make a ubolt conversion kit for the AMC20 diff. It includes the yoke, ubolts and a new pinion nut and seal. Part number AMC20-YOKE-UBK. Looks like it's only about $37. If your pinion seal is leaking (probably will be when you get it in :D ), might as well slap this kit in. That's why I put one in the D44. Makes life easier down the road.
