    And I redid all the diff fluids. Front, rear, and transfer case.

    For what it's worth, I had no water in my rear diff, but I did have some in my front. The front was super easy to change with the leftover fuel line that I had to run in the front fill hole, since I couldn't get the bottle in the opening.

    Everything is now Mobil 1 full synthetic, and I can tell it rides smoother and coasts better than before. Highly recommend, hope it holds up to its reputation.

    Only at 15k. Looked at the placement of the breather for the front diff and realized that it was routed up a little higher, but it was right where splash water would shoot up. Might think about relocating that one as well.

    Transfer case was clean. Oil looked new as a matter of fact. But, it's the easiest to get to and only takes 1qt ($10), so I did it anyways.

    It was actually easier than changing the engine oil. Literally take out the fill plug, then the drain plug. Check for shavings on drain plug and then clean magnet. Put drain plug back in, fill till it starts to pour out, and put fill plug back in.

    Repeat for transfer case and front diff...

    I'm sure it does somewhere, but I don't know where...I believe the two in the engine bay near the fuse box are the front diff and transmission...don't quote me on that tho..

    Hey Folks,

    I want to share with you my money saving experience at Walgreens. My wife & I bought toys (like we do every year) to donate to the kids @ Miami Children's Hospital. I was prompted to enter my phone # in the key pad so that I can get a discount. Here's what my wife & I saved:
