Default differential juice change

the rear couldnt be easier. the front a little harder to get at the filler hole.
i ran a 1/4 in tubing horizontally from the hole and then all the way up to the rad top area, about 3 feet. it was ez to stand straight up and push the juice into the clear tubing ,checking after the first qt till it started to overflow.

both ends in no rush was about 45 min. i kept the juice inside nice and warm till the job was done.

next the t case,ez,,,then the tranny,,,oh no! do you guys change the filter gasket ring or reuse the old one. looks like it could be a bugger to change?

Just did the same thing with the front diff fill. Bought truck with 65000 beginning of January did diffs last week with 68000 and it was definitely never changed. New TC motor was put in but I didn't change TC fluid yet.

You can buy a fluid pump at harbor freight for less than $20, and it is whole lot easier to do from the bottom of the truck

you will need it again unless you plan on selling the vehicle soon.

the coolant leak is more than likely the radiator. they have a tendency to crack and leak, other than that I have only replaced the water pump for leaking
