I am having an issue with keeping Dana 20 together. Bought my 74 in 03 and the next year swapped out the tired 302 for a 400 hp Windsor with a Coan manual body C4 in 04. Since I have been breaking t cases almost every year. I run it on the dunes 12 weekends out of the year and it sees low lock on the dunes almost exclusivly. First one lasted a couple of years and then gave up the ghost. Put a used one in and it lasted a year in a half. Used the two and made one and that lasted a year. Bought a rebuilt unit from a big Bronco parts dealer not to be named until I find out if they are going to do anything for me about them not putting the needle bearings where the output shaft goes into the rear output which caused a wicked side load and tore the case up along with the idler shaft gear. Still can't believe with someone with a name like they have that this would happen but it did. So I bought another used unit and ran it the rest of the year last year.
Pulled it apart this spring and it was eating up the front ****** washer so I replaced and hoping that it makes it the whole sand season. Anyone having this problem? There is no in between when it is ran, either turned off or the loud peddle on the floor. I have thought about the Atlas but that is not an option due to cost right now. Help!
