beastpath Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 What is an Electric Differential Oil Cooler Pump? Do I already have one on the WD21, and why would I need one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Is this a joke? I assume it circulates diff fluid thru an external cooler. I fail to see the need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 no, no joke, its a Nissan Motorsports product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Maybe it would be useful for racing applications (baja racing maybe?). I really fail to see the need for it on anything else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 what about for heavy rock crawling. or preserving the life of the LSD? I've read some places about rear diffs overheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It would be useful if you have a problem with overheating your differential, but if you never find yourself in such a position, then it's money best spent on other things... or saved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 what about for heavy rock crawling. or preserving the life of the LSD? I've read some places about rear diffs overheating. Actually high speed use would cause more heat build up.In Rock Crawling the gears barely turn, so not a lot of heat generated (unless you are the type who just hits the gas and prays you climb the rock). About the only situation we would be in to get us even close to overheating the H233bs would be heavy hauling/towing in the mountains at full highway speeeds.

Kingman Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I can see this being useful for desert runners who are constantly plowing through the sand at high speeds and RPMs, and heavy towing and long mountain grades like GG said. Pretty worthless for the typical driver though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yep, it does exist and it is for racing applications, it is a universal application kit IIRC. I hope none of us are driving pathys on tracks at 150 mph..... They also once had one for the oil pan, that always seemed more interesting..... And if you want to be really cool you can get a temp sensor for you differential as well. (yes, they have one that fits in the filler hole.)

OldSlowReliable Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 IMO Its just one more thing that can/will go wrong :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 IMO Its just one more thing that can/will go wrong :S yes, but you could say that about all mods you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 yes, but you could say that about all mods you do. I know what you mean, but if I understand this correctly, it pumps the diff fluid through a cooler, which could clog or a line break, whereas Idk if i've heard of someone overheating their diff...seems like you'd break/burn something else before that could happen.... Although, the temp gauge sounds like a good idea/alternative, cause that way you could see if it was headed for disaster, but not have to worry about another thing breaking.....you know what I mean?

beastpath Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 yeah, i know what you mean. but if we were all worried about stuff breaking, we would leave our trucks stock and never go offroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
