[Regarding Differentials]

OK so I did the front, rear and transfer case, I measured about 7Qts removed...
The color and smell was so good that I assume that the dealer I bought it from must have done the service. I cleaned the magnets(a little goop but nothing weird)

My method was to fill them till they were full or just barely below the fill hole.

Here is my question:
I bought 7Qts of Amsoil Sever gear but after the job I have just about 1 full quart left... I am told the job usually only takes 6.5Qts but I have 1/2 extra on top of that so my question is between the front,rear and transfer case is that still acceptable?

1/2 quart between the three of them is not that much...:ybrick:

Hmm, that's a little odd. But it sounds like you filled them up right and proper. We fill them to the fill hole, let some dribble out until its just a couple drips and seal it up.

I did this in my garage it should have darn near level surface.

I let it drip out until maybe 1 drop every 15sec so it should have been about dry (there are cavities I realize you cannot get all of it out)

I just finished the test drive all seems well... it should be smoother after a little breakin period.

Should I be worried? :wtf:

Also on a strange note... this truck came from the beachy part of PA and I find sand and sea shells all the time so I know she was salty!

The bolts looked rusted up as hell but I broke them free without a hitch... I never prepped save my 3' breaker bar... and I never touched it.
(I only weight 135 so I know its not cuz my gorilla strength and half were done 1 handed)

I would fit it up and get ready for the fight but on my first brace I would crack it every time!?!

usually I have the opposite luck with bolts.... arty:

What beaches in PA? Its some of the "tourons" that come to Delaware beaches to ride, not fish, on surf. That will get vehicles banned from the sand. :dammit:

By the look of her rust and interior sand levels... also considering the SURF BOARD scars in the interior ... i would say case closed Watson!eace:
