Too hot, or not?

260!!! That's cooking!

 

And that means what to us newbies?

 

Good question... Looking forward to learning myself.

 

Is your diff overfilled? A bunch of our KWs had that problem.. all were overfilled when we got them from MHC. Drained the diff down to the proper level, problem went away.

 

Could be indicative of an internal diff problem, overload, wrong fluid or overfilled as posted above.

 

Contaminated fluid and faulty breathers are possibilities, as well.

 

Well, I have to ask. Is costly, or impossible, to have these kind of sensors installed on trucks that do not come with them? Or is it even worth it?

Imbecile? Maybe. Curious? Always.

 

Diff temp sensors? It could be feasibly done. Exactly how you'd go about it would depend on whether your truck predated CAN communication or not.

 

Probably not worth it. We can only hang on to it for another two years. Effing California. I figure that it may be a nifty gadget for some out of state buyer. My loads are too light to ever worry about that kind of stuff. I'm just learning the ropes, driving for the farm.
