| what is the heaviest diff oil out there? were do i get it?
Looking for some help. Wanting to stiffen up the front differential on my twin hammers (not full lock). I've heard people using 500k but it still had a little too much give. Anything higher? Any input is appreciated. |

Tra5039 Diff lube for the slayer. 500k (500,000) Thats the thickest I could find with out it locking the diff completely. It seemed to be a perfect harry medium. Almost acting like a limited slip. |

I thought I saw a post once of someone talking about 1,000,000 weight, but they might have been screwing with everyone. | |

There is some 1 million weight from Tamiya. I have some its more like a heavy grease than oil. I used it in my twin hammers diff but it was to thick basically locked the diff but it did have enough give I didn't break anything like I did when running the solid locker. I replaced it with 500k it works %95 as well as having 1 000 000 when crawling and still have me good high speed handling. With 1 000 000 I couldn't turn worth a frack.

This is about the thickest I can find You can usually find it at all your local hardware and big box stores. . |

I'm familiar with using both halves of JB Weld to make "spools", but which half do you use to make for a "limited-slip effect? Does the poster tack just get ground up into little bits after some abuse? |

| Re: what is the heaviest diff oil out there? were do i get it? The poster tack stays in one piece. After a few packs it its soft enough to still allow the dif gears to spin through it. It won't allow much diff action but it will act like a 1:1 limited slip with shimmed springs.
