Re: Used detroit
I have a Detroit in my AMC20 with Superior Gear one-piece axles.
In my humble opinion, the Detroit is bullet proof and if you can get one for
300 delivered to your door, jump on it.

If it is a good Detroit, inspected and given a clean bill of health by a
reputable gear shop, it should last as long as a new one. Also, if you provide
the numbers on the casting to Tractech customer service, they can tell you when
it was manufactured and whether it is an old style or the newer "soft locker."
(The only real difference between the two is that the "soft locker" is a bit
quieter when it disengages. They work the same.) I bought mine used . No
regrets.
