Well yesterday I finally had a nice day and was able to put on my new FMS girdle and changed my front/rear differential fluids to Amsoil synthetic along with my transfer case. The rear was simple, just popped off the cover slowly and let it spew all over. The transfer case was cake, just had to remove the big metal rock gaurd and it's right there with the drain plug and check/fill plug. The front was a pain! No drain plug, just one plug to suck it out and fill it up. Maybe it was the pump I had? I got the pump from Amsoil and had the hardest time getting the tube in there to suck it out. There's to much going on inside of it to really get in there and get the tube to the bottom, but after fighting with it for a LONG time I got it all out. Anybody else have this problem with the front diff?
