1968 Camaro "Badmotorfinger" v2.2

[Cris@JCG]

I have a C&R unit that has a Tru Trac in it with the internal pump .. No problem on the replacement of the locker

Now why would you get a unit like this.. a built in pump for cooler & not run it.. i recommend that you run it.. Also when you vent the diff.. try to run a -10 hose.. it will help with pressure the diff builds.. here is pic of the one I did on Blu...





I believe I can use the pump still. Def not an expert either.

Not gonna run a cooler to start. Gonna run a line from pump out back to the return fitting on the housing.

Good to know...

Cris,

Does that cooler get much airflow? Tucked up against the gas tank like that, it's hard to see how much air would get through the fins? Or is the cooling in this case less about flow and more just about surface area to dissipate the heat? You aren't running a temp gauge on the diff, are you?

Because it may not be necessary. My diff temp gauge will tell me what I need to do.

I like to add things only if necessary... you know, like a big SB2.2 engine.

I can't see why one would install a system like this and not monitor temps. I'll surely run a diff temp gauge.

Where does one install the temperatur probe for the differential? I presume it needs to be at or near the bottom to stay 'in' the fluid... I'm not sure if I've seen one before...

I'd bet you can attach it to the out going line to the cooler

Agreed, but in Dave's case, and more importantly, mine , we will neither have coolers, at least to start. So I was wondering, if I wanted to run a gauge to monitor the temps to decide if I need a gauge, how I would go about it?

OH didn't realize you weren't running a cooler :sieg

I did some lookin around and drilling/tapping a fitting into the bottom half of the carrier cover looks to be a common method.

You got me. WELD is the key word there.
