BACKGROUND: ‘86 FJ60 with 3.70 gears. Me & a friend just completed a self install of ARB rear locker this weekend. Went for a 5 mile 60 mph drive and the rear diff housing seems to be too warm/hot to the touch...but really I have no info to say one way or the other. IR gun has temp @ 115*-118*. Think I have anything to worry about or does this sound normal??
To me that doesn’t sound too high but I’ve actually never tested the temp of the diff housing before so I don’t have any idea what is normal.
Prob being paranoid but I thought I’d ask if someone actually knows.
