    Default what's diff temp?

    jdcanadian here, workin' with Nails' computer...

    so yeah, what temperature should a diff run? mine feels pretty warm to the touch, and I used a laser temp gun thing and it said it was 177*f after 40miles of highway driving.....

    tell me i'm not cooking my new torsen....

    Well, the empirical data collected so far suggests it should run at 177f.

    Notice a difference in the way the car drives with the new diff?

    Over 300 in my turbo car on the track and it's still alive and well...for a Torsen.

    the diff feels great, sounds great, i took a corner that i know like the back of my hand... what a DIFFerence!

    there is a bit of "chassis" noise from the poly mounts though....

    What do you need to know that wasn't already posted? Hustler is at the extreme and you're at the average. :)

    I think it's running too cold. Maybe a space heater bolted to the under carriage?
