i spoke to Strange Eng today they advised not to run any synthetic oils in their tru trac and eaton systems.
i mentioned about the heat the tech said he has never heard of such a thing which i call BS.
he advised me to try different weight oil from Mobile 1 or Vavoline. I am currently using Lucas 85-140
i will also test the temp when my buddy brings over his IR thermometer this week.

ok i took a 7 mile hard drive and the rear end housing was 134F the exhaust pipes around the rear were 112F
that was with 2.5 quarts of 85-140 oil Lucas non synthetic
waited 3 hours to cool
i drained the oil and then put 80W90 Lucas non synthetic
went for the exact same drive and the rear end temp went up to 152F
Should i really be concerned or these temps aren't out of the ordinary for a 9 inch?
