Re: Changing Front Differential fluids
The Front Is Easy Compared To The Rear, I Just Did Mine.... The Are 2 Bolts In The Diff, The Bottom Is The Drain & The Top Is The Fill. I Dont Remember Right Off Hand How Much It Takes, Owners Manual Will Tell Ya. I Used Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lube In Mine.Steve2003 wrote:Now that I got my rear done... what about the front...I have had my belly pan off and the superlift skid plate off for about two months as I was having work done...now I'm ready to put every thing back on but I thought what about changing the front differential fluids....how do I do this?
