orion juice

[nasty habit]

Orion #134 arrived yesterday-After I had a few quiet personal moments with it, I called AA to complement them on the secure packaging, pretty much ups/fedx proof. Also asked about the 2 qts of Torco juice that comes with it. "Put it in-its great" they say. Awfully thin stuff...like tranny fluid. Bottle specs GL4 and regular 80/90 lube is GL5. I just can't talk myself into putting that stuff in after hearing all the stories of doom about quick change lube joints filling cases up with modern thin stuff...just like the Torco juice. Is everyone else using it?

I'm running the TORCO in my Orion & it's runs quiet, smooth and SLOW....I'll give it a good workout this month (Swamp Lake then MOAB) then Surf&Turf at Pismo in November

I was thinking of writing it up for trails but I think Chris is going to. I need to machine the studs and I had some issues finding a clutch disc for the 465. After that I need to finish up the rear x-member and get the d-shafts figured. I plan on using the fluid for the first run and then drain it. I figure all the assembly lube and new metal in there needs to be flushed out anyway.
