it is the speed factor that in my opinion generating all the heat > in a drive line on a dynometer peristic horse power is taken at the wheels > this all the power to turn the drive line up to the trans mission in neuatral > 15 to 20 pecent of the hp produced is generally used to turn the dive line > so in you r case the speed you are traveling is THE UPPER LIMIT of then egineered specs of the diff in other words your churning butter in the pots at the speed your are traveling > the amount of rev/minute of the internal parts are turning very fast and the pots can not dissipate the heat if you do a math formula < you have to compare apple s to apples ie the jeep you metion wieghs a lot less than a pw and is geared higer and designed to run high way speeds the power wagon which is a slower more towards off road gear weighs more and thats the diffence in temps it takes horse power turns in it to heat and and relflected in losses at the frictional points > spin evey thing one and half time in your jeep with the same weight as power wagon,, temps will rise ~ Copey
