Default i am a dumba$$ center chunk caps

So got front end almost back together and i realized i didnt mark the caps for the center chunk. So i noticed they had differnt markings. so my question is who is in need of a diff fluid change. i will paypal you the $$$ for fluid and a new gasket. If you can pull your front cover and take a pic of the caps for me i would love you forever. thanks guys this is my last part then she will be ready to play agian

Your sig says 1500 so I assume a D44. If that is the case, how are the steering knuckles/hubs holding up to those 37 inch tires?

You should keep an eye on tread depth on the inside of that tire and compare it to the outside to make sure your camber is close enough to what it should be to avoid chewing it up. You might have to do a little bending of the knuckle (if it's even possible) after getting it back together.

I took those pictures back when I had to change my axle seals. I wanted to make sure I would put the caps back in right.
