Randy Slawson also lost a rear end,
which took out his transfer case as well.

I wonder if the cold had anything to do with it. 250wt has got to be nasty at 20 degs.

Thats what I was wondering, i bet the pinion bearings got wiped out before the oil got heated up enough.

Jorden Pelegrino said during the KOH Experience that his rear diff got to 370 degrees before it seized. Tony stated that they were "Obviously" going to the manufacturer for answers.
We had heard earlier that he lost oil due to leaky seals in his "Prototype" diffs that 4 of the T1 trucks were also using. That info came from a secondhand source so take it for what it's worth. |

Nick nelson said he felt his rear end shimmy right off the line. It makes total sense that it got wiped out when he pounded the throttle. Being first in line means it sat cold and unmoved for at least 2 hours before mashing the gas 100%. the things you can learn watching and reading. I wonder what GW would say about this... I might call them.

I have seen numerous cars on jacks getting their diffs warm before ultra4 races. ![]() |

I wonder what he would say about warming the oil and ambient temp vs all the KOH early rear diff losses.

It's the 250wt oil. Not 75-90. The GearWorks stuff requires a super thick oil. at room temp it barely wants to move out of the oil jug.

Are the bearings burning up in a mile? 2 miles? Instantly? Does cold oil not splatter/sling enough to coat a pinion bearing? Just sits in the bottom of the diff waiting to get warm enough to move?
