    metal in diff housing, problem?

    No regearing on diffs by me. Doubtful the previous owner regeared cause it drives similar to other stock 80's I tested. I am just wondering if the different tire size has anything to do with premature wear? Thanks mark

    parts for birfield repack

    C dan, all, :cheers: I have read that you recommend 2 torque wrenches as the value in the middle of the scale is most accurate. ( 0-100 ft/lbs wrench would be most accurate measuring 40-60 ft/lbs of torque, my estimate) My question is , if you had to buy only one torque wrench for a...

    hey all :flipoff2: I am debating the merits of adding the cent diff lock switch to my 97 lx 450. Is it correct that in H mode with unlocked center diff about 70% power to rear , 30% to front? Then with the cent diff lock switch I can lock the cent diff in H mode giving me what kind of...
