Well, I decided today that I would change the rear diff fluid. Hasnt been done in over 25k miles. Anyway, I open it up and damn, it was nasty brown and bubbles. I have taken it under water a few times over these 25k miles but never thought about changing it. So, after the rear, I cracked open the front Diff. and wouldnt you know it, same thing. I did rebuild the front (new bearings, seals, racers, etc) about 1.5 years ago. Same story, under water and never changed it! The pain didnt stop here, noooo, I then decided to change the transfer case oil..........holy crap, same thing. Damn, I have neglected my beast for too long. Lesson is, change oil when ever in doubt. Its a very VERY easy thing to do, its a one job and anyone can do it. Cheap to change and will save a huge headache in the long run.
Oh yes, since I was on a roll, I busted out changing my wifes Taco (truck) rear Diff, transfer case, transmission, and oil. Holy crap, I did two trips to the recycling place today!
