    The rear dif fluid change is as easy a DIY job as they come. Get new crush washers.

    I wonder how many drag boat racing guys drained the Lucas oil out of all their rigs after the shit Lucas pulled at the end of last years racing season.

    Cliff notes: Lucas: We're not going to sanction drag boat racing anymore. We're too cheap to hold an end of season awards banquet. We'll mail you your trophy. Sorry your top alcohol drag boat is now pretty much worthless.

    I feel ya. So now I feel even sillier for not knowing when to change my front. The dealer said the back was due so I was just gonna do the back. I guess it's probably in my owners manual. That's why I'm here because there are guys passionate enough to know the finite details.

    If the rear is due I bet you the front, and transfer case are also due. Might as well knock it all out and be on the same schedule.

    This has all crush washers to service all 3 things. The front diff takes 1.6 quarts and the t case 1.2. So 6 quarts total oil, crush washers, and a pump. For the front diff you need a 10mm allen key.

    *gasp* It's literally as easy as the diffs, just a drain and fill. I'm disappointed Matt.

    It's not an effort thing. I'm one of those that think it's a perfectly balanced little environment in there. :anonymous:

    Transfer case is super easy and same 24mm bolts. The front diff drain plug is notorious for stripping out since it's a 10mm hex. Word of advice for the front is to clean the hex holes out very good, use a quality hex socket and make sure it goes in all the way, and definitely loosen the fill plug first.
