    I hate the plugs on my rear diff! It's like they're designed to strip. I want to use the hex plugs that are on the front in the back as well as replace both the fill and the drain with drain plugs for a little extra magnetic protection.

    Does anyone know if the front and rear diff plugs are interchangeable?

    Thanks tamer!

    I needed to make sure cause what I'm going to have to do to get that rear fill plug out is going to make it impossible to put back in. I have to make sure I have a compatible replacement before I open it up.

    I only swap the 10mm hex on the front diff drain. Most others receive a 18035, if it will fit.
