Default Front & Rear Differential Service

Have a question on the above mentioned service,after my last service was informed my differentials were scheduled for the next service I asked about the price and was quoted 489.00 exactly what does this service encompass for such a price.

A rip off.

Go to your local transmission shop and have them service the diffs. Less than $200 total.

+++3 on the ripoff.

OR, you can do it yourself for less than $100.

If you are mechanically inclined at all, you can do it yourself with a pump.

It can be a messy job to do it yourself and that stuff stinks! Diff fluid is overpriced itself. I usually pay to have that job done. Now Chrysler says you have to change front and rear every 15,000 miles and transfer case every 30,000. That is way overkill in my opinion and have never seen any other manufactuer say to change it so early. I do it as to not to void my lifetime warranty. This is where Chrysler has us by the ***** on the warranty thing.
