Re: Rear differential durability
Yeah well it will get weak real fast if you don't have any or enough diff fluid in it!

Re: Rear differential durability
Yammi diffs too? Mine were full but emptied real quick once the spider gears exited the cover.

Re: Rear differential durability
This is what I have. I trashed the original differential and bought this replacement from plumquick. Don't remember what it was off of.
I ordered a custom high torque motor to replace my bandit. I'd like to be able to pull a 5x8 trailer with some logs, limbs around the house. Also, how much difference between regular and synthetic oil as far as friction/drag? Plumquick recommends synthetic oil to reduce drag. Is there any noticeable difference? |

Re: Rear differential durability
A Graziano! (it's the first time I've actually seen one)
I just did a write up in the CC gasser forum... http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-c...ml#post1346763 If Plum Quick suggests synthetic... I'd listen! |

Re: Rear differential durability
I just saw them mention it on their website regarding one of their motors for high speed and reduction in drag. That along with over inflation of tires and making sure brakes weren't dragging.

Re: Rear differential durability
Once the ambient temp gets down below 0 you will notice a difference in drag. Your trailer shouldn't pose much of a threat. Rumor has it that at golf courses, [Yeah, apparently they use them there for something too!] they use one cart to pull several others. Do the math.

Re: Rear differential durability
Hope I've never in it at 0 degrees. I'd say near freezing is about as cold as I've been driving it. Anyway, I may change the fluid out this spring to synthetic. Seems like when I got it, finding a 30 weight synthetic off the shelf wasn't an option at the time. New motor will be here tomorrow. Maybe I'll get it in next weekend.

Re: Rear differential durability
Changing mine tonight. Had 80w90 in it. Drove it in the shop pulled the plug and it took a good 20 seconds before the "string" of oil actually touched down in the drain pan. Put a heater near the diff to get it to drain. Gonna put in 5w30 synthetic. will see tomorrow how much of a difference it makes.
