How much friction modifier?
I had to take the cover off of my differential a few days after rebuilding my trac lock to fix a leak in the gasket. I reused the fluid i drained out and had to add about another quart to it. I had put 4 ounces of modifier in the oil to start with, so i'm wondering if i dilluted it too much when i added more oil. I'm sure a percentage of the modifier leaked out with the oil but i'm thinking a lot of it probably stayed in the axle tubes when i drained the oil out. So do you think i'm at a safe level right now or should i add a little more modifier?

More modifier
I would add another ounce. Not that difficult and it'll give you peace of mind.

I added approximately an ounce to it, i'm not sure how much is in it total though. As long as i don't hear any strange noises i should be safe though right? It isn't giving me any problems and locks the axles together fine. When i turn i don't notice any grinding or such.

Relax
You're fine.
If you were too low on modifier you would hear it from the rear. Relax. Enjoy. |
89.........you do realize friction modifier is to make it slip not stick?
|
yep, I just don't want it to stick so much that it wears the clutches out fast. Its locking together fine now even with one tire on a slick surface and one on pavement. So i'm happy with it.
