New Gear Break-In
New Bearings and high ratio gear sets can cause excessive heat build up. High heat can soften gear teeth surfaces. Proper break-in will prevent this. On initial run, drive lightly for 15 to 20 minutes then stop to allow differential to cool completely for 20 to 25 minutes. Avoid heavy acceleration and vary speeds every 5 to 10 minutes while driving on highways. Drive conservatively and do not drive more than 50 miles at a time without allowing a cool cycle during the first 500 miles following installation. After completing initial break-in, change gear oil at 500 miles. Small metal particles are normal and gear oil will typically be black. Excessive metal in gear oil should be reviewed by a competent differential mechanic to ensure safety of internal parts.
