[GaGranite]

Has anyone put 20 million center diff grease in their Kraton 4s 2.5 ?

Earl Moorhead did 20mil in his OC4 and liked it.

If that's where you're going I think a diff locker would be more dependable and less maintenance.

That's what I was thinking as well

Dumb idea.

Dumb idea.

Why?

 

[razorrc]

Why is there a center diff? What does it do? What does locking it do?

Seems like mine has way too much wheel speed in the front under acceleration, which makes it seem slow trying to accelerate. Was thinking of putting in thicker fluid in the center diff to help with that.

Have you checked it to see how full it is? Because if you've never been into it before my money is on it isn't full

Ran it for the first time yesterday. But I do have an Outcast 4s with a slipper that I’m used to.

Yea man mine wasn't anywhere near full, I topped it off with 500k and it made a big difference

 

[GaGranite]

I’m taking it apart tonight to see.

Here is how the center diff looked like when I opened it. It was brand new K4s 2.5. Just sayin.

That doesn't look full to me

 

[GaGranite]

That doesn’t even look half full.

 

[Barmaleus]

It wasn't even half full indeed. Which is kinda very strange.

Seems to be the normal on them, i ran one or 2 packs through mine and tore it down after reading countless posts about them not being properly filled from the factory

It's sad, actually. I wonder how it's even possible that these units pass QA?

Your guess is as good as mine there. There's so many posts and YouTube videos on it. My 6s kraton exb was the same way

You think that is bad? My center diff on my Kraton v2.5 was missing the bearing between the front and read output shaft/gears (the little tiny one circled in the pic) and didn't even have any fluid in it. That would have not been good if I ran it without it. Good thing I learned to open them up and check before a first run.
