: I am the owner of a '53 M-37, and right after I bought the truck, I noticed that my rear-end was very hot to the touch. I have not driven the truck since (had/have motor work to do as well). I was wondering if anyone had any clues as to what is causing this. The differential had plenty of dope in it. Thanks in advance.

From what I have seen, that may be normal. Here in Texas everything runs hot, so we have switched to 140 weight gear lube. PW rear ends seem to run hot enough to warrant a little extra thickness in the oil.
