I know you'll hear otherwise on here...mostly from those that run with more power than a silver can. But I shim mine rather than use the AW grease. The grease, even though thick, it will heat up and sneak out of the gear case and make a mess. I use 2-3 shims per side where they call for 1 on each side in the instructions. It makes a tight diff without completely locking it.

We are in test mode now and would have liked to try to lock our gear diff partially before trying a ball diff.

Thanks as always
