Good afternoon hope y’all are having a great weekend!

Added some fluid to front diff
And now I Noticed this

I don’t know much about differentials
Not sure if this is ok or if somethings wrong?

On the bench everything seems ok when running

Here’s a video

 
That's probably why. It uses 10k from the factory. If you hold the other wheel can you still turn the wheel? If so I'd say you're good. Just making sure nothing is binding/locked up.
 
No they should do the same as the rear. As mentioned above hold one and see if the other turns otherwise your internal diff gears are locked up. 50k isn't super thick I run a couple rigs with it and my wheels spin opposite easily so I'd really bet it's the internal diff gears binding.
 
Thanks guys

When I hold one wheel
I can still spin the other wheel
and the rear wheels spin the same way as I’m spinning the front
 
My talion actually does something similar but if I spin it really slowly it goes as normal. When I run it it's probably my smoothest and quietest rig. Runs great.
 
Thanks guys

Then you are good to go. (y)
Seems like the Front fluid is way thicker than the rear's. . Not really a great issue.
I run 60k Front/500k center/30k Rear.
Are you running the same fluid in both Front and Rear??? If so, you may have underfilled the rear diff. If the oil is the same F+R, there should be no difference if diffs were filled properly the same way. The video appears like the front diff has thicker oil.
I like thicker oil in the Front versus the Rear. Usually by a 2:1 ratio.
But Center always gets 500k for me. All my 6s off-road rigs.
 
Thanks guys!

I do have The front fluid thicker... I am going to add a little thicker in the rear

I ran it for a little bit in 4s just to check and everything looked and sounded ok
