Issue with thinner oil is it sneaks past the o-rings quicker. However, diff oil is a necessity if you need to tune your truck for racing or partially lock your diffs for climbing.
Grease is a win win for me because it keeps the gears happy and doesn't leak out. I'm curious how the STP stuff will work out . . . who knows, I might even like it better.  |
I recently tore my diffs apart again and filled the rear/front with 30k/50k about 3/4 full in the diff cup. Then put a nice glob of STP oil treatment in them to fill up the the rest of the space. This stuff is a lot thicker/goopier than i thought. Hopefully it treats the gears well!
I was tightening one of the diffs when near the end i heard a little crack.. My torque-o-meter tells me I wasnt using excessive force.. The stock cup is just straight up weak and made out of soft material.. (aluminum is soft in general but HPI's is like butter) So needless to say, there goes my extra diff cup I had on hand. Will be purchasing the Vorza cups very soon.
Question: So the stock diff internals drop straight into the vorza flux diff case.. literally no difference in shimming or anything?
Thanks
