Thanks Mark. I meant to post video 2 of the 3 part after I posted the other. I thought it was really interesting. I'm REALLY curious to see what data they have on this.
High HP, from what Gale says, the extra capacity can rob the ring and pinion of horsepower being transferred to the ground through viscous losses.

As long as it's at the factory fill level then supposedly it's transferring the maximum rear wheel horsepower available. It's only when using an aftermarket cover that increases capacity that it causes viscous losses.

I'm on the edge of my seat! It's more like a season ending cliff hanger! It took two videos to get everything explained, it is going to take quite a few more videos to give us the real world data.

Yes we do...it's because mere-mortals can't seem to understand the cliff notes version...

I'm ok with losing 2hp. These trucks aren't 'fast'...I have a 6 speed go kart that will run circles around my truck and it only has ~36hp. These trucks were designed to pull fast things...not be fast themselves.
