5T 2.0 diff fluids?

[Rgarbarino]

I was working on the truck this weekend installing the Modified RC center diff mount and monster locker. After doing lots of research while waiting for all the parts I'm thinking I may not want to run the locker. I mostly bash, don't race which I have heard is a good purpose for the locker (racers don't really use lockers). But there is a track close but that I can run on for fun too. I'm not really liking the idea of having parts wear or break faster than necessary just because of the locker.

So, I need to put the stock center diff back together. The manual says 15,000CS oil. Would it be best to use the same stock oil? Go a little heavier? maybe 30,000CS? Need advice here.

Also, what's the different between oils listed as CS and CST?

I’m running 100k 300k 100k in 1 5iveT

running 15k 150k 15k in my other 5iveT.

And to be honest I truly can’t tell the difference ??‍

60k...500k...100k fr...cen...rear in my 5ive?

60K front, 500K center, 60K rear for my bashing. ?Might actually be better to go and talk to some of the racers on the local track if your planning on racing tho. That's a good way to find out diff oils, shock oils, and tire choices??

Imo ditch that locker. Any of the higher weight diff fluids will act darn close to a locker but have some give. I run 500k in my center diff. Front and rear diff I would reccomend something in the 50k to 100k range. I think right now I have 50k in the front and rear diffs.
