Hell no, the opposite. The railroad and myself had a disagreement about what constitutes full time employment vs slavery. 55 hours a week wasn't good enough, so now I'm gonna work on tugboats instead.

 

Sounds like where I'm at with my current job requiring/expecting me to work 70hrs a week. I'd be comfortable working 40hrs a week. My truck sure appreciates my hard work lately.

 

I was home 12 hours every 3ish days. That's not enough time to enjoy life and maintain friendships. And the friends are more important than the money.

 

Exactly, I would take a pay cut right now to regain my sanity and free time again. Fishing, hanging with friends, basically just the ability to fuck off..

 

I hate working on the weekends. Great pics!

 

I have a set if yer still lookin.

 

That's exactly how I'm feeling at my job. I don't mind overtime during the week (well 10s) but screw the weekends. And since management keeps deciding Friday afternoon whether we work or not and screw over weekend plans....got tired of it. Between that, lack of common sense, and having to work with a couple liars and annoying people I decided to look for a new job. Fingers crossed I get the one I applied for (internal move). No overtime, get to make my own schedule (just needs to be 40 hours a week, no other coworkers really, and a nice office job. Only bad thing is it'll be a bit more scrutinized by others. But I'll gladly take three day weeks every week

 

well the bed still gets wet sometimes towards the tail gate but aside that im content. I got the hankook dynpro atm 265/75/16 feels better. no sliders yet hahahahaha still on a tight budget but one day I shall ride. the rack I was on debate cause I had a cover but someone on here did a hack on it with another tonneau cover so I had tonno pro and just hacked that to make it work and it is just fine

 

Question though when I change the front diff fluid do I also do the rear and transfercase as well?? im just asking casue i see only rear diff drain DIY or front with transfer case?? also is the transfer case fluid same as diff fluid?? in the front also is it the same as the rear??

$29 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 for all?? im sort of new to changing fluids on diffs and transfer case. any help would help thanks

 

Yes to all of the above questions.

 

The fluid is the same for all boxes on your truck. You most likely don't have to change the fluid in the transfer case, but since you're under there you might as well do it. The transfer case has aluminum crush washers, you might want to replace them since you're pulling them

 

roger that thanks. do u know how much I have to buy??? like how many quarts for all three?? and if mobil 1 synthethic 75-90 is okay to use??

 

What size tires are you running?

 

265/75/16

 

Mobil synthetic products are what I recommend. I run them in my truck and it's what we have in our work fleet of 200+ vehicles.

It's been a while since I did mine but if I'm not mistaken I used 8 quarts.

 

I was running 245/75/16 but changed them out

 

8 quarts for all 3?? or just one diff??
