Ok that works great for me... I got so excited about this I mixed up the names
in my previous post (I meant Barney instead of Andy :-).
I just got off the phone with PowerTrax about my gear oil debacle and I asked
about pricing for the No-Slip while I was at it. The guy said to expect around
$400 so I'll be real interested in what Barney can do (I'll give him a buzz
tomorrow to let him know I'm interested). Oh yeah, as far as the 75W-140 gear
oil goes they said it shouldn't do any damage but I might experience some
hesitation engaging/dis-engaging when I first roll out on a very cold day.
After a short drive when things have warmed up it shouldn't cause any problems
at all.
Thanks to all for the comments and good wishes... I'll be sure to get the right
weight oil next time!
Tom

Hey Tom,
Nobody is going to call me back. I just took the info from
Andy and passed it on to Barney at Reider. He was supposed
to get in touch with the people that handle Reiders account
and find out what's up. I would check back with Reider
(ask for Barney specifically) if you're interested and ask
what he heard, that way he knows these are in demand! I'll
just have to live with the ratcheting from my Lock Right
for now I guess. Good luck to the folks with the 8 1/4"
differentials!
