    guess it might not hurt to do everything. i know my front diff will be problematic. last time even using the proper tool the drain plug started to strip the giant allen head so i had to pump out the old and new through the fill. so since the lsd is from the brakes i dont need the special additives then huh?

    Diesel fuel and gear oil smell takes awhile to get rid of. I don't miss working on diesel engines.

    Even on the humvees the starters weigh in at 40 lbs and you had to mount it directly upside down against the block with two bolts. Most stuff on diesel engines and diesel trucks are heavy duty and HEAVY!!!!

    Glad I switched to electrical trade :thumbsup:
