When servicing any differential always break loose the fill plug first and make sure you can remove it. Fully. The reasoning is if your drain the fluid first, then for whatever reason you are unable to get the fill plug out you will not be able to refill the differential. So, always break loose fill plug first.

Couldn't agree more. On one of my cars it was impossible to get the fill bolt out. I had to do a lot of work so I could change the fluid. So always check the fill hole first.

It makes life a lot easier if you take your spare out first. Also power wash the rear end first and the bottom of the bed so there isn’t any debris to fall into your open differential.

There is a plug on the top side on front of differential. Make sure you take this out and clean it off of metal particulate. The plug acts as a magnet. Also, you can siphon out most of the fluid through the plug hole.

Great question. So “gear oil” is a generic term and can mean transmission fluid, transfer case fluid, or differential fluid. What you want is “differential fluid” Axle fluid is another name for differential fluid. They are the same.

What about using a fluid extractor instead of taking the cover off?
@MagargeeFilms
Жыл бұрын
Great question. You could certainly do that but there are some disadvantages; you won’t get all / as much of the old fluid out. It will be harder to see / remove metal shavings if any from grinding gears, and you won’t be able to visually inspect to inside of the differential for any other potential problems. Honestly I think the fluid extractor will be harder and take longer too. Plus it’s nice to know you have a fresh seal / gasket under the cover.
