Re: Differential temperature
The Trans and Differential will get "WARM" when driving the car around town on a day like today. You should still be able to put your hand on them without burning your skin. If you were running across the desert in the middle of the summer, they will get a lot hotter, just like everything else under the car.
If you have just recently rebuilt the differential and it is getting real hot in the area of the pinion or carrier bearings, you may have something too tight. Older bearings will often run cooler because they are a little looser.
