Aaand here is nutjob number 2 for the day.


View attachment 365032
Saw a truck diff in our workshop that had had that happen a few years back. From memory, customer self-serviced his truck, overfilled the diff oil, and drove on a line-haul freeway job first-up. The diff oil aerated, then overheated and basically turned into tar and was no longer able to lube the bearings. Input bearing got so hot the input shaft (about 3.5" diameter of good quality cast iron) got so hot the yoke twisted off and the truck threw the driveshaft (cue lots of things underneath the truck getting dented by the flailing tailshaft too). Workshop guys eventually extracted the diff head and sat it in a 44 gallon drum filled with diesel for about three days to try and thin down the "oil" to see if the diff carrier housing could be salvaged (by customer request). About a week later the diff "oil" (tar) had started to move and "pour" out of the housing, but it'd only moved about two inches in all that time... By that stage everyone was well over the stench of burnt diff oil and customer was told he could take it home or it was getting scrapped. A new diff was ordered and installed, and oil filled to the correct level! Too much can be just as bad as not enough...
