    with the rear drive shaft connected.... This is a dana 300 but the same rules apply to a dana/spicer 20.

    I see nothing wrong. Well besides all the cracks and scorching of bearings.

    I know why it applies to a 300 but why does it apply to a 20? I've towed numerous 20's hundreds of miles on dollies.

    The Dana 300 don't splash lube the rear output in neutral without the front hubs locked in.

    The Dana 20 does, Lots of flat tow miles here.

    No he didn't. He wouldn't comment on that....

    I'm not going to argue with anyone here. Just thought I'd post some pics. Most like carnage pics anyway (that aren't of their own stuff anyway).

    A friend of mine had his Dana 20 do the same thing when he flat towed his 76

    CJ5 a few years ago, he got a trailer after that.
