….and let’s not forget another reason to pull the diff covers (for those who have lockers) is to inspect the locker sensor for oil intrusion and to also pop it off and clean the locker sensor magnet so your lockers engage and disengage quickly.

Maybe some of you went with that sensor bypass Z harness cuz your sensor failed. Just keep in mind your Z harness doesn’t bypass the magnet and it still needs cleaning. If you’ve bypass the sensor and don’t have need for it, the magnet is at least working hard for you in attracting all the pretty filings.

I know the rear with Track Loc requires the friction additive, but does anyone know if it matters if you add the same fluid to the front axel? Just didn't know if I should be buying two different fluids (with and without the friction additive).

Thanks

The additive in a non- LSD won't matter. Doesn't hurt a thing. I run the same fluids.

I have been running Torco 85-140 RGL in front and rear for at least 20K miles and many months with no issues. It's what Currie uses in his builds.
