Gear Oil Visualization

I saw this over on the Banks Power YouTube Channel. Really cool visual of how the fluid looks in the diffs while the gears turn. Although, I wouldn't recommend the plexiglass diff cover for the trail. :)

Shows you how the cover is not just a random piece of metal. Proper design is needed for oiling your pinion bearings at speed.

yes it definitely was an informative video, and does beg the question if my aftermarket cover performs as well for oil distribution.

I've wondered that same thing @tunp. Seems like everyone is making diff covers, but are they making them with oil distribution in mind or just beef?

It is a REALLY good series. I think there are 4 or 5 parts out so far and at least one more to drop. Timely since I need to reseal my diff covers and was going to go ahead and do covers at the same time. Now I in a hurry for that last part to drop so that I can make a decision on which cover to go with.
