I wiped off some hard materials off the magnet

spearfish has a nice write up on how to do it if you can't figure it out
Normal on EVERY rear-end I have ever seen torn down, from my F-bodies to a Crown Vic.

So yea... about rear diff fluid temps...

Had the same thing happen on my car, but I think my LSD is actually damaged from the heat. It doesn't seem to lock as well as it did before... maybe it's my brain. Or... maybe it's just the fluid that needs to be changed again. Hmm.. that happened 9k miles ago. I'll do it again soon.

I don't see any sludge. Just very fine shavings that feel/look like sludge.
