MGT 4.60 Problems

[kaj2866]

Hello everyone!
I have a new MGT 4.60 and got it broke in and doing well. Today, I ran the truck and it was fine at first. Then, after it was running for a while, the front wheels started pulling harder than the back wheels.If I gun it at the start, the front wheels are spinning harder than the back wheels. Kinda like a burn out with the front tires. If I take off easy and accelerate slowly, it does just fine. I have changed the spur gear and made sure the brakes are not dragging it down. It does fine in reverse. Any ideas of what my problem could be?

Thanks!

sounds like there is an issue with the rear differential. The transmission puts equal power to both the front and rear shafts. There is no center diff in that truck.

Thanks NickBoulin! That was the problem! Changed it out and its doing better than when I got it! it's a shame having to replace parts on a "new" truck with less than a gal of fuel run thru it! Have a great 4th!

One of the biggest improvements I did was change to a smaller tire size. It shares the same setup as the t/emaxx so the tire wheel combos are endless. I also removed the reverse and shaved nearly a full pound off my truck by doing so!! Now its very hard to keep the front tires on the ground at all

All that was in the stock 1 was grease. They didnt use silicone fluids in the 1st generation makes and I'm not sure if they ever switched with the 2nd generation
