Telluride Diff Fluid Questions

[derfman]

My Telluride is stock and is mostly used for Trail driving
Approx 90 % trail driving sometimes long steep hills dirt or gravel occasional climbing over rocks
and 10% driving on pavement ( No racing )
I recently changed to 300K in the rear because I liked the turning of the stock Telluride . 300K works nice
The front tires occasionally only 1 spins when climbing over tree roots and rocks
Now time for the front .
Its a messy job mixing fluids to get 300K
stock is 100K front and rear.
Should I use 300K in the front or go straight to 500K
any disadvantages of 300K in rear and 500K in front ?

thanks in advance

I had 500k in mine for and found it didn't work good for crawling over stuff, I ended up using silly putty to lock up the diffs, it does hurt the turning though.

I've had both front and back JB welded for two seasons of non stop beating, no issues as of yet and it works great IMO.

I now have 500K in both front and back
A noticeable diffidence from the stock 100K
for now I will stick with the 500K. Most of my driving is Trail
this is where 500K is Great. But not the best for Crawling

Works very well, but not a locker. Easy to un-do.

Works great, just clean out the diff (or buy new parts for this) before you start and works well.

Yes, that will be your best compromise for trailing.
