You have no idea. None.

I know precisely what the Super35 is, and I also know what the weakness is
in the D35.

Stick to things you know ...

The AMC20 is a much stronger axle than a D35 as it has a 1.3 inch
bigger ring gear and a much larger carrier plus it has 8 7/16 inch
bolt hold ring gear on vs 8ea 3/8 inch ones on the D35 which are also
on a smaller radius relative to axle center line too on D35 the the
difference is very apparent. If the AMC 20 has had a one piece axle
upgrade I would easily place it above a stock D44 in strength.

Your money would be better spent with a bigger axle too if you by a
new locker.

Everybody else places it equal at best.

The Ring & Pinion gears on the OP's D35 are not broken, making this a moot
point. Actually, it makes all of your posts on the subject moot.

You should stick to stuff you know about.
