Hello again forum. Well my 12T pinion keeps coming loose on my Kraton despite using red permatex. The first time it happened it damaged the set screw so bad I had to drill it out just to get it off. Well it also slightly damaged one of the edges on the spur so it runs loud now. Anyway I am in the process of getting a new pinion, spur, and sliding motor mount but in the mean time I could use some help. This seemed to start happening after I switched the stock diff oils to thicker. I am currently running a mix of 80k and 60K in the front to get close to 70K. And the center has 500K, and the rear has a mix of 30 and 60 to get close to 50K. Do you think the thicker oils (specifically the centers 500K) could be causing this? Like I said I am using a good amount of red thread lock and letting it sit for 24 hours. But within 5-10 minutes of running it always comes loose. It just happened again. Ive read several other posts with people using 500K in the center with no issues so I am not sure what they are doing differently? I am going to go back to lighter weights and see if that helps. Most likely 60K front, 200K center, and 30K rear which is what I ran in in my Notorious and I don't recall this happening with that, so maybe thats the key. Anyway like I said Im getting a new spur and pinion hopefully soon, but just thought Id post this and see what you all think. Thank you!!
