Mojave Need help! Diff fluid

[Gabe8501]

I changed diff fluid on the Mojave. Went 50k on front, 500k center, 30k rear. Wanted 200k on center (guy at local shop talked me into 500k).
Problem is it doesn't sound healthy, afraid to get it to 50% plus throttle and when I let off throttle it doesn't coast it actually stops like it's the brakes are applied.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Sounds like you didn’t get it shimmed right. Is that possible? Might be binding.

I could swear I didn't have a shim missing
Found this when I opened it up

I would put the fronts down on the ground, holding the rear up and put a little throttle to it. Then do the opposite, put the front up rear down. See if you can tell which is worse.

Are those the right screws in the diff? They don't look like button head.

It looks to me like the center diff screws are wrong, I've got new in package and they don't look the same

Let us know exactly what you screwed up so we can avoid the same mistake. Did it indeed turn out to be a screw mishap?

Lol yes sir, was tje screw mishap! Idk how the hell I did it but I buttoned up the differential with the screws for the plastic top diff cover! Swapped them out... she's all good now.

Me too! Lol

On a lighter note I think I'm liking the way it drives with the heavier diff fluid ?
