Dana 60 fluid change
I finally got around to putting together my documentation for the front end fluid change. I've got a link at the bottom for the Sterling 10.5 that's was mentioned in a previous post.
If anyone needs and eyeball on the stuff if the've never done the job, HERE IT IS.

i love how you do documentations on everything, they are so nice. good job on the install. i would like to add that you have to run around to warm it up with the hubs locked in, or else the differential grears wont spin. another alternative that would work if you had manual hubs, is to keep the hubs unlocked, but pull the lever/selector in 4hi. that would move the ring gear.

Is sucking out the old oil through the fill hole an option?? My diff covers still look like new, and don't need to be cleaned up or painted.

In a previous life, I was in charge of fleet maintenance over about 300 trucks. I quickly learned that if you wait until something breaks it'll cost at least 3 times as much to fix it.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I documented my coolant filter installation.
