Oh. Here we go.
Well, I'm not going to do the line Item Veto thing on your posts.
So here are some answers and take them how you want.
Torque is transmitted to the wheels. There are enough people that have sheared an axle from lesser torque loads than I drive around with every day on low boost. But then you wouldn't know about real torque in your contour yet. Terry doesn't even believe the stock rods can handle 300 HP out of the V6 so he doesn't believe I produce that much either. Suffice it to say that your 3L is strong enough to thrash those diff pins and the spider gears without spinning pressed on gears. Simple fact of torque multiplication. The frictional forces in pressed on gears are quite high. Not even a sensible comparison there.
Every or any transmission that had torn up spiders on ATF...look at Demons old pics. He never grenaded his diff but it wouldn't have been long either. The point isn't that ATF is bad but that it doesn't provide the protection that a better fluid would in those high loads. I don't care about hypoid versus non hypoid. The diff uses straight cut gears and they are made pretty cheaply anyway. Chock another one up to ford engineering I guess.
Whatever, you talk about a failure on redline. You have ONE (read it, ONE) transmission with a failed stock diff. This transmission was recently converted to MTL and it had many miles on the clock. You may as well be spelling out the fact that we won't know what originally caused it...keep it as circumstantial evidence and wait and see if a real pattern of FAILURE occurs.
So, you say I'm not providing data on the "motor oil" comment.
Now you really look foolish. You are trying to target me personally when all I want to do is have you practice some thorough scientific comparisons BEFORE you guys open your mouths. If you come out and said that grapes were purple, you'd have many people agreeing and many more saying not necessarily. Both could be right. THAT is the kind of blanket statement you made about MTL. So I didn't have anything against investigating anything. Yet you are now starting to attack me and the latest is the motor oil comment.
Here's why it is so funny:
It was YOUR Test results from fresh HONEY versus fresh MTL that I forwarded to Redline. Those are the statements made after it was REVIEWED by the Redline Rep. I'd trust that the guy knows what kind of oils go into this stuff so if the percentages looked like motor oil then...he was justified in saying so. THat doesn't make it fact. The guy stated that the test results looked like they were not inconsistent with with Redline MTL. Therefore it lends some credibility to both him and you. It is just quite coincidental that everyone else is now marketing fancy motor oils that can also be used AND that many companies use motor oils in transmissions.
