If you run your diff as a "slipper", even just a little slip, it will become junk in one run.
Here's my 2 cents (only 1 cent actual value
),
Rebuild the diff with new stuff, all of it, you can polish the rings if you really like it super sweet.
To adjust it to the loosest safe setting, which is still sketchy, put the car on the surface you will be running on and find one of the highest traction areas then punch it. If it slips, tighten it, when it doesn't slip you're done.
Better still, hold the wheels to the ground and punch it quickly, slowly tighten it a little at a time til it won't slip.
It will still feel smooth, never slip, and will last a very long time before needing a rebuild cuz it never slips which is what will wear the rings and diff balls instantly.
That's why I prefer the 103 type adjuster, I'll check it this way easily before each run.
That's how I roll
