first the pain in the ***!!456.jpg?t=1270661874
used wd40 on the bolts opened up the bowl and found a minimal amount of sludge an fine metal contaminates around the magnet plate. my first instinct was oh f54k but this is the first time it breathed air since the factory. with the little amount I saw I'd say I caught it just in time.
mail124.jpg?t=1270662126I cleaned everything with brake cleaner and dried and cleaned both surfaces for reassembly.
now the easy part wait for the blue rvt to dry...
Oh it's mounted on the housing btw.lol
mail23.jpg?t=1270672694and finally all done with no leaks! yes I like summit racing products so what lol !!!

 

nice job man

 

thanks I'm using valvoline full hd synthetic the color of what came out was amber and not black or cloudy which I think is a good sign. Any thoughts on the rvt blue? the stuff i cleaned off was orange, isn't that high heat??

hell that came out nice...i painted my red trucks cover red dunno about this one its a lil low to see....did you see any issues or bad scar marks on you gears? or missing teeth? this is something i gotta do soon i need new fluids in everything(motor(this weekend),trans and rear diff) i guess i best get on it....

 

I could twist that in so many ways you don't even know lol

 

No thank the christ, I had a minute amount of sludge at the bottom and a very small ,almost a residue of metal flake attached too the magnet. I knew the previous owner. He went over a year without any oil changes in 08. The same time he went too bke week in myrtle beach. he towed two bikes with this truck. That could of done what I saw in the housing.

 

right mine was done about a yr and half ago so im not sure if it really needs done but why not throw in some syn fluids...im sure they put dino crap in it....shiloh dont even ya lil chit....

 

Haha, you guys puttin in RP?
