Hi Guys,
Super forum for the 80, a lot to learn and nice guys to ask the touch questions that your mechanic doesn't bother to reply about....sums up IH8MUD 80 series forum for me.
So here goes. I have a noise from my back diff which increases as I pass over 50mph but subsides as I pass over 60-70mph...but doesn't die down.
I am suspecting I have a LSD in the back but have no way of know it. I want to change the diff oil (as advised by the tech) and I stopped remembering that LSD needs a different oil.
Perhaps the previous owner neglected this and hence the noise? Can some one advise how to recognize if the rig is having LSD in the rear. I have K294 code in the name plate along with the VIN.
Any pics would help as I plan to raise the rig later tomorrow.
