On a different note... Im in the process of rebuilding my gear diff... any of you suggest running oil instead of AE Grease? Im looking for better rear traction. I normally pack the diff with black grease. Would 5000wt oil be better?
Also keep looking to upgrade my rear hubs to aluminum. I hear this will help the life of my rear bearings. What degree would be the best or most common?
Why not drill the ball ends so you can stick the wrench in when needing to make ballstud height adjustments?
For the gear diff, I've done some reading of the old thread, and it seems most agree that 5000cst is a bit thick. So is 3000, 2000 and 1000.
I had 3000, so that's what I put in mine the other night, but haven't run it yet.
Consensus seems to be somewhere around 50-80wt. shock oil instead. The two fluids aren't measured the same way, so they're not that different, viscosity wise. I don't remember where I saw it, but I believe 500cst is about the same as 70wt.
