I probably saw this from a link you posted at some point:If you saw how the ring gear continually lifts and heaves crazy huge volumes of gear lube over the top of itself and toward the pinion bearing while the axle is rotating you'd never worry about the pinion angle causing a lubrication issue again.
His videos are indeed awesome. When he gets more into the shape of the cover in a later video you'll never want another flat diff cover.I probably saw this from a link you posted at some point:
I'm interested in this also. Is it possible to OVER fill the diff?This is interesting. I was going to start a thread and ask how you guys fill you highly angled diffs to proper level with the cover slanted so far backwards. This will sound stupid, but I backed my jeep up a very steep grade until the diff looked level, then I filled until oil drained out the cover. I never measured the actual quantity I got into the diff, but slightly less than 2 quarts.
Just insert a small funnel into the vent tube opening and pour your oil in through there.This is interesting.

Yep!I'm interested in this also. Is it possible to OVER fill the diff?
Book calls for 1.7 quarts of fluid. I did not get enough in when I was parked flat on the ground, that's why I parked on high ground and then filled. Think I'm good now.I'm interested in this also. Is it possible to OVER fill the diff?
I almost couldn't imagine trying that.Just insert a small funnel into the vent tube opening and pour your oil in through there.
I'm certain I've got correct amount of oil in there, but what are the consequences if you do fill too much, Jerry?Yep!
I overfilled the front and it leaked out of the axle seals. I replaced the axle seals twice before realizing it was being overfilledI'm certain I've got correct amount of oil in there, but what are the consequences if you do fill too much, Jerry?

Gear oil spewing out of the axle breather tube when you are traveling at a high rate of speed. It will eventually self-correct itself.I'm certain I've got correct amount of oil in there, but what are the consequences if you do fill too much, Jerry?
A little extra is nothing to be concerned about.I'm certain I've got correct amount of oil in there, but what are the consequences if you do fill too much, Jerry?
Thanks Jerry!A little extra is nothing to be concerned about.
