diff fluid
so i changed my front, t-case, and rear diff fluids and the front was dark, looked like normal wear to me, same as the t-case, but the rear diff was a thick carmel color that i had never seen before, my thought was water in the diff, but from were i wondered, anybody have any ideas?

Well your front and rear diff take gear oil and your t-case takes ATF . So the fluids should look differnt.
Now. Some rear diffs used synthetic gear oil while "all" front diffs use standard gear oil. And if you had water in your gear oil it would be a lighter color and milky
