I just changed the diff. fluid in my rear end. I had a little over 600 miles on my new gears. Please, somebody tell me that this is normal?

not really, do you have any whinning on accel or deccelaration coming from gears. You might want to take it back and have them check everything

 

Wow!

Between changing both my diffs twice, my transmission, and my oil, I doubt I have seen 1/100 of that...

 

I agree with backroadman81... Something aint right.

 

is'nt that a mine used to sink ships
or a sticky granade used in WWII

 

at 500 my oil was shiny with little metal shavings all through it, but there was almost nothing on the magnet. I dont know, but that seems like a lot of shavings. I have superior gears though, is that what you have too?

 

There is no whinning.

Yes, it's normal for a magnetic drain plug to catch NORMAL wear particles. However, I think that amount is abnormal. It does seem excessive after only 600 miles.

 

got my vote for best title description ever.

 

thats pretty scary looking I never saw anything like that on the two oilc changes I did when I had my gears done, one at 200mi and another at 1000, and my pinion gear chipped away at 1800mi form not being set up properly...was that meatball solid or all small shavings?

this is how they looked at 1800mi
and what was on the magnet, your magnet doesnt look anything like mine
