If, it needs an alignment the go ahead and have it done at a good shop. They usually will not align one until needed repairs are made. Have them check it out and what needs to be replaced can be done by you or the shop if, you choose.

No ramps or hills to fill that sucker up. You might need a home made dipstick to get an idea where the midway of your axles are. OEM capacities go out the window with aftermarket diff covers. You DO NOT want oil flowing out of that fill hole. :roflmao: http://www.g2axle.com/images/subcat/diff_covers...

Many of the auto parts store now carry them.

What's the D30 on? If, it is stock on a vehicle then it should be ok. If, it is on a lifted rig then there is a good chance that the pinion is rotated up to correct drive line issues. You'll need to go with the recommended amount. With the pinion rotated up, the oem fill hole will be lower and you m...

good news. thanks guys. i wish i could find a cover with the bearing support for my dana 30 too, all i can find are covers witht just higher fill ports, no bearing support. Those higher fill ports can lead to trouble. if, your pinion angle is stock. If, the angle is changed, add oil to reach midway...

I bought mine used from a ZR2 owner. The front frame horn width is not the same between the ZR2 package and ours.

Something to keep in mind is that our hoses are now made of EPDM. This takes a set when first installed. Once heated it forms to the part on which it has been installed. This promotes a very good seal. However when installing a new part the hose may no longer fit the form it has taken. sometimes yo...

If, you don't add it to the crankcase then there is no need. I never think ahead to add it to the oil before a change. 1/3 in the booster line and 2/3s in the fuel tank.

You really shouldn't have any problems running 15 or a tad less. I bet half of the S/T series trucks are running 25 psi on the roads, out of ignorance or neglect. Your choice worked for you and that is all that really matters.
