Great write-up... thank you for the pictures. I did the job this morning but I have to admit to a BOZO move. I was under the truck and my buddy handed me the first quart of oil to refill with a hose on the end to make it easier - I didn't realize he put a small plastic cap into the end of the hose to cap it... put the hose in, squeezed the bottle, cap pops off. I tried to drain the diff again to see if it would come out - no luck! I have to figure that the small soft piece of plastic won't really hurt anything, just get ground up in there.
Wondering if anyone else has done this or if you think its a big deal or not? Would rather not pull the axles and all that mess to open the case up. thanks. |

I just changed my oil for the first time on Friday, and wanted to comment on this, even though It's not a big deal. I changed mine after driving it with the oil hot or warm, and on level ground. I let it drain out completely on level ground without jack stands, then after that I wanted to lift the axle higher on one side to see if any more oil would come out. I lifted the left rear axle (drivers side) almost 8 inches and more oil did come out. It wasn't a lot though, but it did take about 5 minutes before it stopped draining. I then lifted the right rear axle (passenger side) just like the other side and absolutely no oil drained out at all. I kept it up for about 5 minutes just to make sure. So I'm not sure if it matters if you do this or not, but I would guess it really doesn't matter. Also I'm sure a lot of other factors play into this like the type of oil you use and how many miles you change it at and other factors. I bought one of those oil pumps (OEM), it worked good except the fitting did not screw into the Mobil 1 quart bottle. It screws into standard gallon size bottles, so make sure not to make the mistake I made and make sure it will screw into the quart size. Or pour the oil into a clean gallon container and use it that way. But thanks for the write up guys, it really helped me out a lot!

Outting a wrench on the bolt, and tapping the wrench with a hammer works also.
