[QUOTE="BlackBolt9, post: 5881390, member: 36489"] I don't like the sound of it either way. Black absorbs heat. If the coating, regardless of color, resists the transfer of heat (i.e. keeping heat outside by not letting it through) then how will the heat created by the gears (friction, etc.) escape through the case and into the atmosphere? The case is made of aluminum not only for weight but to allow heat to escape from the diff. IMO this coating is negating that effect and you are simply making up for it with the diff cooler. The exhaust heat may not be getting in which I suppose makes it easier on your diff cooler but I can't believe it is really doing much since the cooler is sized to work with out that coating. I guess the real question is what creates more heat in the diff, exhaust temp or mechanical heat generation? (internal vs. external heat sources) [/QUOTE]
