Whats up with the oil fillers being so high?? You can not just run more or less than what the diff is exactly designed to run at. |
this is certainly a problem for anyone who has installed the RockCrushers...you cant simply fill them to the bottom of the fill plug (or 1/2" less) as that would be way too much and they will pump axle fluid out the breather...conversely, you cant just add the same amount as what came out because of the shape of the cover (its larger, therefore the level is lower with the same amount of fluid)...its trial and error...i just installed mine today (Breyton, great minds think alike) and added just a bit more to meet the same level as what came out (i checked the fluid level height before removal of the stock units using a coathanger)...so far so good
i had my covers baked before anything was done to get all the oil out of the surface, then prepped them with Killrust Cold Galvit and then Heavy Duty Primer...next they were powder coated black, then the ribs and lettering where polished and then they were baked a second time with clearcoat...i found the D35 unit needed a little grinding on the bottom bolt holes to match the axle and both units needed sealant on the fill plug to eliminate leaks...a lot of work and time - but for something that will withstand a Caterpiller driving over it without breaking it was worth it!
and yeah they are the KL71's they are a good tyre but a bit soft i reckon
