Diff Longevity in between rebuilds
Posted: Wed Jul 24, 2019 12:27 pm
how many hours of bashing before I have to think about rebuilding? what exactly is a crunchy diff?
I think I have the gearing dialed in as well as the slipper clutch figured out. Had a blast with the son in an empty dirt lot.
Here's what I noticed, and I'm trying to figure out what caused it. When I was going down the driveway, when I let go of the throttle, the car rolled for a little bit on its own. After 30 minutes of running, the car now simply stops on the same driveway when I let off the throttle. I guess I'm trying to figure out what tightened up. I did a tire/wheel change. Is it possible that I torqued it on tighter than the other set, causing it to stop earlier? Should I be concerned about the diff or clutch?
Thanks!
