Differential internal temperature
Hi,
Can anyone tell me the maximum internal operating temperature of a rear differential? Reason I ask is that I'm plumbing the hose and bulkhead fittings for an air locker in an XJ D44. The locker originally came from a Wrangler Rubicon and I don't know what sort of tubing was used OEM. I could use copper like ARB uses, but I'd rather go with oil-resistant nylon air brake tubing. The stuff I have is rated to 200F, just not sure if that's sufficient. Thanks, Steve |
Re: Differential internal temperature
I don't know the specific temp, but you will be okay with 200 F. I've stuck
my finger in the diff to check oil levels on vehicles that had been driven all day and they're just warm to the touch. Steve G.
