    To hell with jersey. Any of you guys been around the Ironbound area of Newark? Give me NYC any day over this place. 13"6 is #### near 13"6 LOL. Murray Street off of 21 I had to drop the suspension and it looked like maybe 2 inches to spare. Sitting at almost 13"9 with tall rubber. Almost browned the britches.

    Had a hose from the top plastic tank to rad work Its way loose too somehow. Enough to where it thought the tank was empty but it wasn't from sucking air. Idiot buzzer came on. Took me a few min to fig that out. 1st thought was #### that better not be cracked head or something internal but it wasn't making oil.

    I've lost count sitting at the dock here. 3 out 4 have it on inside by themselves. Maybe they're eating some nice breath mints

    I know this is probably a very basic question to y'all, but...
    What do you like in the diff? 55klbs gross & under as of now
    Rockwell RS23161 axle. Calls for 37.2 pints.
    80w90 synthetic blend
    75w90 full synthetic
    75w90 dino
    85w140 dino

    I lean toward the synthetic blends, 80w90. No real reason, just do.. Seem a 5 gal pail is $80-$100..

    Time to get the h*ll out of Iowa and get my wagon back to Texas. I've only been out for two weeks but I need some couch time with my wife and little boy. Once I deliver this load in Irving, New Braunfels and Laredo I'm taking my chains and going home! Haha be safe everyone!

    I'm a full syn 75W-90 fan. But then again its dang cold up here in winter and the 75W-90 has a pour point of around -45.

    10-4 :thumbup:
    That was my 2nd choice, only because I was assuming steep price hike. I'll price full synthetic 75w90 & see what I can grab locally..

    85w140 I was thinking was kind of thick for lightweight application.?

    Any issues with running an off brand? I've been using Fleet Pride OTR engine oil on & off for 2 years with good sample results. Fine to run in diff if price looks good.?
    Edit: Their gear oil, not engine oil.. Sounded funny when I reread post.. lol

    I'd find out what 75W-90 syn is rated for on the upper end of the ambient temperature spectrum. I'd imagine it gets past the 90's F in Florida much more often than it does up here lol.

    Day isn't starting off well. Bird nest in the dryer vent. I paid someone else it put this in all professional like..... What a joke!!! Typical just do it myself because I’ll have to redo it anyway. C86BE5F4-6781-4B3A-99B0-A146EBC30BA5.jpeg No vent cover, regular silver plastic duct tape, hole through the brick with fiberglass insulation stuffed in the hole and some old broken sticks holding it all up.

    Now 15’ of new pipe, cover, mortar, spray foam, aluminum tape and real tie downs every 3 ft. Think we paid this guy like $500 to put this in originally?
