How often do you change diff fluid?

 

speaking of the good stuff, I have a partial case of that left over, if you or someone else wants it ill bring it up with me.

 

So, we are wheeling first then we are going to Dave’s place?

 

current plan is meet at the GR HQ, then head over to the range, then from there it will be up to yall. I have a match im practicing for so ill probably stay at the range a while longer then you guys might want to.

 

Did it at 37k 50k 75k

Doing it again at 100k (i’m currently around 92,450)

 

The lucas 85-140w comventional? I will take it happily

Between friends and family i have about 15 trucks to service

 

So you want me to change your diff fluid in the parking lot? Lol

 

@Minimag95 are you guys going to any trail?

 

Yes, that is the plan.

@Vostraz respond when you can. If you’re coming up, i’ll come out to GR

 

Gotcha. I've had my truck for like a year and a half and I havent done it yet, I'm almost at 75k miles bought it at 59k, so it's probably time, huh?

 

I bet its never been done.

Use Lucas 85-140 conventional. Rear takes 3qt, tcase takes 1.1qt, front diff takes 1.5qt.

I’d also have your trans flushed and filled this summer too. I had mine done at 37k, then we just did it again around 75k and replaced the filter, the fluid, and I added my trans cooler.

 

Yeah, but we are gonna shoot at the range first. I'm probably only going to shoot for maybe an hour or two. I'll be ready to hit the trails around 1130 or 12

 

I actually had a 60k service done right after I bought it but tbh I dont even remember what exactly was done. Brought it to our family mechanic who's worked on all of our cars pretty much forever. I'm curious now so I'll give him a call Monday and ask.

 

I’m not knocking your guy, but most people don’t do the diffs or t case. And everybody forgets the trans. But i’m one of those guys that will replace fluid because of time instead of mileage lol. I believe your vehicle only runs as good as you maintain it and for as long as you care about it. So, i won’t let gear oil go longer than 2 years or 30k. I won’t let trans fluid go longer than 3-4 years or 50k. Maybe i’m anal?

 

im rolling out now, should be there by 0940

 

I should be there by 10:30 @Vostraz @Minimag95

 

On my way!

 

On my way too. Had to make a few stops, new ETA is 11

 

Talk to the guys at MobTown. They are just up the street.

 

Some wrenching going on while the grill is being fired up.
