Anybody know what the operating temp range should be for a Ford 9 inch? I just set up a ring and pinion (Motive) 4:11's with a Trac Loc posi. After long drives the diff temp will be around 175 degress measured with a non-contact thermometer in the center of the pumpkin. Seems a little hot to me..but it is a new gear set. I'm currently running 80/90 weight.

For a new gear set & bearings that's about right. Once everything is broken in, I usually see 135-145*F after spirited driving measured with a laser thermo.

Does anybody make a diff cooler kit for the 9". I would love to get something like that for mine. I have seen one for the Ford 8.8 but not for the 9".
