Valve Cover Question

they are good but the low range isnt very low, its only 2.02:1 you can put a terra kit and drop it down to 3.15:1

The AMC 20 rear that came in CJ's had weak 2 piece axles and the tubes were prone to bending. I've put 1 peice axles in mine and I'm going to try welding and trussing the tubes. When it does go I plan on replacing it with a 44.

The AMC 20 is arguably as strong as the dana 44 IF you put 1 piece (superior or moser) axles and a truss. I've had 1 piece axles in mine for 7 years with no problems, but I'm only running 31's. Bigger tires will stress it more; the 1 pieces will hold up, but you might need a truss for the tubes....

So was it really a dana 20 or a amc 20. I have only seen a front dana 20 on a IH Scout I had but that is the last one I have seen.

I had a dana 20 front axle on my IH Scout. I have not seen a rear though. It might have been something like a It was a long time ago.
