Better filling options than Slippery Pete?

The one I got years ago has 2 sets of threads so yes, it fits everything I have needed it too. They sell them cheap at chain auto parts stores so you can see one in person before you buy it.

My boys would call this a ‘life hack’; I am a fan of a $4 Wally World pillow for one time use when doing under car work like this. Especially when saving $500 in labor. I would call it my ‘shop fee’ lol.

 

BTW if I had to guess what slippery Pete looked like it would be Billy Bob Thornton in U Turn

 

I buy yoga mats from Marshall's. The 1/2" thick ones are good enough, but the 1" ones are definitely worth it when they have them. They last for quite a while, especially on concrete. Working on asphalt cuts the life span.


Pro tip - don't weld on your back while laying on a yoga mat. That was not fun.

 

Well I just bought all of these and will check them out and return what I don't like. Seems like the best way for me is going to be that motive pump canister, Marhalls Yoga Mat and wal mart pillow.

Can that be easily cleaned, or really how clean does it need to be, between swapping rear end oil vs. MT oil and T case Oil?

 

Thanks again guys. Used this Mitivac syrynge to fill the MT. Looks like an injection! Took two syringes for the MT.

biggest challenges are keeping the floor clean and getting out from under the truck and back again. Definitely need multiple fill devices for different fluids-two much of a PITA to clean.

I am thinking : syringe for the MT (maybe two so you don’t need to refill), syrynge for T case (one shot will do it) and the motive pump for the diffs.

now I just need a motorcycle jack to aid with skid plate r and I.

 

i have been using my pump on the 5 gallon pail of gear oil for about 40 years I have no reason to change.

It works for me quite well.
