I was cleaning my truck up and lubricating everything and when I went to spin the rear diff I could feel the spider gears in the rear diff binding up.
The gears feel smooth when I lift all four wheels off the ground and spin the tires (all tires and transmission spinning, spiders not spinning).
If I leave the rear wheels on the ground, lift the front, and spin one front tire (with the other front tire spinning in the opposite direction) the front diff feels silky smooth.
If I leave the front wheels on the ground, lift the rear, and spin one rear tire (with the other rear tire spinning in the opposite direction) I can feel the spider gears binding up. It feels "notchy". This is something new.
I have 2 gallons through the stock motor. The 4 spider mod is far from bullet proof. Looks like I will have to rebuild the rear diff pretty soon.
