I changed the diff fluid in it. It still had the original grease. I noticed that the diff pins had grooves in them from the sun gears, are peas replacing these with the Chris pin set ups?

Thanks Brad

If the collar is that tight then you have cross threaded it and have probably ruined the body or collar or both. You should never need a set of pliers to adjust the collars. The o-ring makes them a little tight but if you take the o-rings off the collar should thread on and off with ease as long as your threads are cleaned out of dirt. When I did mine I had to use an xacto knife to clean out the threads to get the collars to go on properly.

So Santa just dropped off a few SCTE goodies. What springs are people running with the aftermarket spring kit? Also what swaybars? I also got the TLR tune up kit. What pivots/degree are people running?

Hey guys Merry Christmas! I race on carpet and been using 5/5/3 in the diffs. I'm looking for a little more on power steering and a little better rotation in the turns. The way it is now is ok but i know it could be better. Should I go up or down in diff fluid weight? I was thinkin 3/3/2. Has anyone tried this?

Yes I know they'll work the same, but it's not whats pictured on their website and they don't hold the same bling value (I figure those boots won't last long and I'm not going to replace them).

wine were chrome
