Along with using oils at set up and exaggerating whats really there
So you're saying that nothing should be oiled or soaked in oil when setting up a differential??

Yep, I added a snubber to both my D80 and D60.
Jantz Engineering makes a nice one.
I was on board with you for a lot of what you have said, but the friction (and thus torque needed to overcome standing friction) is vastly different with a friction modifier applied to the surfaces, even if it's just water.Yes, unless it's banana oil.
Yes, unless it's banana oil.
What about pinion deflection? Has any one tried to run some type of 14bolt/ 9inch D80 hybrid, so you could incorporate the 14bolt/9inch pinion bearing support into the D80?
Add gear oil to bearings and it causes drag, you don't check preload with thick drag causing oils. You can do as you wish, you don't have to listen to anything im telling you
Love to hear what diffs are worthwhile designs, in your opinion.
Maybe I came off as too much a smart azz to warrant a response? Honestly wondering what your pick for a diff is.
Im not a fan of any design that needs a 3rd bearing to support the pinion from breaking.
What is an alternative that will meet or exceed the power capacity of 3 bearing units?Depends on what you want to do.
For what this discussion is about Dana 80, 130 or AAM 11.5, 12.8, Meritor 100.

Just busy, nothing personal.

Yet that 3rd bearing, if added to any of the axles mentioned above, would only help them.

And that is where you're wrong... The axles above don't have a piss poor design and suffer from major deflection issues ...Like the 3rd bearing diffs suffer from... that bearing isn't there as a addition, without it you won't get far from a driveway with no power.
When you add that stupid design you LOSE room to hold power at the carrier.
Which is why all those 3rd bearing diffs can't stay together without a spool.
Show me a 3 bearing design that lives with power?
The 9 and 14t all have kits for the load bolt they need to stay together.
Once they get to what i consider good street power they don't have any LS options that live other than a spool...
.
So how would one consider any of that good?!?!?
.
I prefer not to follow that of misguided misinformation.

Um, EVERY big truck rear runs a third bearing. So your saying Eaton and Rockwell don't know what they are doing? Those rears live well into 2000 hp with no spool. Still a poor design? I think if they had major issues they would be addressed way before this.
