    Advice on changing diff oils and tranny fluid.

    Recommendations on fluids for both jobs and advice on this would be great.

    Thanks team

    all tore up already
    Real diff is comically easy, if you need help with that I'd stay far away from auto trans fluid

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    While you're at it you might as well do the transfer case too. Use this Ravenol as the fluid from the dealer is absurdly expensive. There are very few aftermarket fluids out there approved for our transfer case. I even called Ravenol to confirm and the tech said this fluid is approved. Super easy job for some cheap insurance and peace of mind. Takes 20 minutes.

    Thanks for the heads up. Truck is almost at 31,000. Time to check owners manual for maintenance.
