That was what ECGS recommended when I did the core swap for their regear cores. It's definitely a much thicker oil which probably helps with the 4 wheeling and the larger stresses from the bigger tires
@sariego9 I have thought about it but I haven't done too deep of research yet. I saw they had full conversion kits for like $2K the last time I was browsing. Do you have rear disks already? I'll have to pick your brain then if you do!
@@KFloTacoma yes, my brain is fairly lean for picking. But yes, when I went to the dana60 I threw on the sosmotorsports conversion kit, and told ECGS to just leave off the backing plate. I got the version that uses the miniature drum brake inside, to preserve the e brake. Apparently it's off of an fjcruiser, so you can get spare parts. The brakes work really well. The ebrake, not so much but I should adjust it better
The best RTV to use for this application is the Permatex 81182. Specifically made for diffs.
After 2017 the differential carrier nuts are torqued to 27 FT-LB
When you pull the axles out do you just let them hang or did you support them? I feel like the axle seals might take a hit.
The end of the axles are actually pretty light without the brake assembly. I haven't had any leaks using this technique
Sounds good. Thanks for reply. Great video!
85-150 is that because you have air lockers

Have you thought about switching to disk brakes?
What year of rear end could I use and is it much better
@@smokegonzales2605 you could upgrade to a land cruiser rear, look for the diamond brand housing . They are 9.5 inches

@@KFloTacoma No , but I was looking into it too
