Preparing for winter and ive never changed differential fluids in my life
I was wondering how to go abouts it? Just take all the outer bolts off and let it drain?
Clean everything up whipe it down maybe PAINT IT RED j/k
Then put it back together and fill it up to the bottom of the hole.
When i do this do i need new gaskets? What kind of gear lube do you use? And how much does it take? (i know till you get to the hole but <example> i dont wanna buy 12 bottles if i only need 6)
It's pretty straight forward process just like Bob (Guzzle) documented in his write-ups. You may want to get a snazzy finned rear cover like the newer trucks come with from the factory. Riffraff Diesel: 08 Superduty Rear Diff Cover
Like Chris said the '08 diff cover is nice. I got one just in case the steel one was rusted out ( that was my story to wife ) but really they are nice & have a nice groove for the RTV sealant. I bought "1-1/4 flange bolts from Lowes. Think it will be much easier next time with this setup
I cant afford expensive stuff right now (expensive is over $20) too many money problems. But yes the do look nice. I found the capacities too in my owners manual book. Thanks guys.
