Doing some maintenance today...
I am changing the rear diff. fluid, seafoaming, changing the oil, and installing a new throttle body. I took the rear diff cover off last night and this is what I found:
The oil smells so burnt and is very dark. And im confused about the gears, It says 3.55 in the glove box, but nothing about LSD. Am I just dumb? What is the thing next to the ring gear? It doesnt look like an open diff?

So I did everything but the throttle body. I took mine off but couldnt get the adaptor separated from it to put onto the new one so I had to order a new one. Here is the rear diff painted:
I think it looks pretty sweet. How long should do I really have to wait for the RTV so set up? It says 24 hours until it fully dries, but can I put the fluid in before that and move the truck or would it be best to wait till tomorrow afternoon?
