I try to avoid smelling ATF or gear oil. Gear oil is just nasty smelling and ATF smells like cat **** which isn't a super pleasant smell.

Evening gents.
I am glad to see some rain, we need it.
I wish they had a cheaper option to add a finned aluminum cover on my truck.
With the Dana 80 all that is out there or the Magtec type ones at about $250-280.

i noticed some play in the drag link in my truck yesterday... got a moog one for $43. hopefully my steering will be good as new after all this. I still have ball joints and u joints sitting here that need to go in sometime, i am just not sure if i want to do them or pay someone

Worst part of it all is driving the seal in making sure you don't screw it up.
