machining debris found in rear axle

the flake of metal isnt super stuck to that magnet and has some decent surface area. at 60+ i wonder if theres enough force from the oil to pull it from the magnet and start circulating in the oil again. theres no noise from this diff and i plan to pull and put 5.29s in anyways so not super concerned about it

 

Thanks for the post.
Did the "break-in" oil change.
Now for the differential grease swap, hunting for "buried treasure".

 

Try a plug with stronger magnet? I use this one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tgi-140032-1-kit

 

Look at 4:32 of the video you quoted.

The drain plug is in a recess in the bottom of that housing, away from the main flow of oil. I highly doubt anything on that magnet gets disturbed, by design.

This is a bunch of concern about nothing.

 

I could be wrong but I thought the entire rear end is manufactured by Hino who supplies Toyota heavy and light trucks. Toyota doesn't make these in house.

I'm also pretty sure those casing bits would get obliterated by the much harder gears in the diff if the magnet didn't get them first. No "extras" like that when I did my OR a couple months ago though.

 

Yep, they'd just get turned into glitter..
Non-issue.
