Dana 20 missing detent rod

[tonytheplumber]

So there ARE supposed to be detent rods in both holes, between the shift rails on a J-shift Dana 20, right?? Mine had one only in the rear bore. No, I cannot attest to the operation of this case as I've not yet had this truck on the road and have no clue the history of it.

Only one in the rear on a J.

Awesome! I was hoping that was the case. All the diagrams I've found have been for a T-shift and when I searched "T shift vs. J shift" I didn't get any good tech info, just opinions.

Thank you so much for your reply!

What, the detent rods? I'm good. As Viperwolf stated, the J-shift only has one rod. Thank you though.
