well hate too burst bubles lol hi bubbles. lol uh back on topic rh 15 k every 15k that is i don't care what you use weasel **** for all I care I did mine lol

 

thats on my list to do this weekend. got to take it to the auto hobby shop so i can use their lift.

 

Never since day one? You'd better pop that cover off and check things out. Time to get those pretty little handy dirty.

RH are you kidding? seriously?...lol Just figured there have been many threads talked about this I figured you had in on one by now?

The first fluid change your diff should see is at 1kmi along with the first oil change. Then every 15kmi only if your towing regularly, otherwise every 30kmi. The front shouldn't be neglected either. I would change that at 15kmi and then every 30kmi after that regardless of towing or not. If you used 4wd on occasion within the first 1kmi then I'd change that too as it does get wear as it rotates even not engaged.

 

Thanks for the reminder i got to pickup stuff to do front diff too.

i like the painted cover rocket

 

ya dog , i have never done this as ol red was done with the gear change and the MC was done from the factory with the 4:10 install but im doing main so i thought idd ask . guess ill be doing it this weekend , but what are the suplies and amounts ?? this rvt ? wtf ? cant i get a new gasket??

 

Why thank you, now I have summit red at the mouth and at her sweet a$$ lol
Sorry rh you need gear oil 75w-140. 3 quarts (you only use 2 and a 1/5th btw)
You need rvt silicone a few bucks no big deal ask for it they got it.
you need a 1/2 inch socket set.
a screw driver.
emery cloth
carb cleaner or brake cleaner
thats about it. the rvt takes an hour or two to set so don't be in a hurry to put the oil in when done.
I also leaned my axles too make sure fluid got to the wheel bearings, seeing as they nwere drained for a while. I know i'm old school!!

 

We should have reusable metal/rubber gaskets. I have changed the front and rear twice just by cleaning the housing cleaning the pan and cleaning the gasket then re using the gasket without rtv. Never have had leaks this way just thought I would give you a heads up. The quantities are in your manual I just used traditional synthetic gear lube in the specified weight. No need for RP that chit is just a pyramid scheme.

 

I just buy a new FelPro gasket at the autoparts shop, they're pretty cheap and also use a very thin layer of the blue or red PermaTex

 

thats the prob i have no manual lol so anyone with a 2500 and the specs lube waight amount gasket ect any inf would be great PM me

 

It's a rear diff. fluid change/ your not applying too NASA !! Ya can't screw this up. Believe me I tried!! But go ahead don't believe me I got my 1k posts in lol......and counting btw...lol
