[QUOTE="Charles236, post: 3260276, member: 25923"] When I installed 4.10s in my truck, I checked the temperature with a non contact thermometer after 3 miles (200* if I remember correctly) and regularly afterwards whenever I parked the truck. As the gears wore in, the temps dropped a good bit. After about 1,000 miles, I quit checking temps, but temps were stable by then, at 160* to 165*after 10 or 12 miles. This was with 75w140 synthetic lube, and running at speeds of 55 to 60 mph. So, I think your temps are probably not excessive, considering the speed, and ambient temp. In any case, you are not reaching a temp at which synthetic gear oil would lose it's ability to lubricate your differential properly. [/QUOTE]
