Wasn't sure if this belonged here or OEM tech, since it is modified, I guess it goes here.
Background, 4.0, AW4, NP231 with AA SYE. Just installed waggy axles with 4.88s, rear welded, front Lockright.
Ok, I've been driving this thing around breaking in the gears, and checking for any bugs in the LA suspenion I built. I noticed some sounds that I thought might be coming from the t-case. After every trip I would climb under it and look for problems. Yesterday while under there I happened to grab the front DS and it was very hot, I was running in 2WD it was very hot at t-case end, cooler at axle end, checked the rear DS and found the same thing. So I check the fluid level, and it was a little low so I added some fluid and drove it again today, it was the same (hot).
So, anyone have a clue why it is so hot? I dont think this is normal.
Thanks,
