This is kind of an odd question but it's bugging me...
I installed my SYE recently (HD 231, replacement shaft) and have been crawling under the Jeep everytime I drive it to keep an eye on things. It isn't daily driven so it doesn't see much use lately. After short trips (<10 miles) the case feels slightly warm to the touch. Last night I drove it about 100 miles and felt it again, it was considerably hotter than I expected. I could keep my hand on it for a few seconds but no longer.
I guess my question is, what should it feel like? I never felt it before the SYE install, never had the need.
I'm concerned that maybe the pump is not pumping fluid or something else.
TIA
BTW, yes there is fluid in it!
