Should I go ahead and do all my fluids at once?

[elcidsurfer]

Im taking my t4r in to have the oil pan replaced. At the same time Im going to have them replace the leaky seal off the rear output shaft of my tcase. Since they will obviously be exchanging fluids during both of these repairs should I go ahead and get both diffs done and the tranny as well? I can't think of a reason not too... besides I don't think it's been done since befor the PO over 6-years ago...

When in doubt - change it out! Also - how does your brake fluid look? You might want to consider bleeding the brakes, and having fresh fluid put in.

Change them all! I actually change out all my fluids at least every 2 years. Simple cheap maintenance can't hurt an old rig!
Of course I change my oil more often than that!!

agreed
i change the following fluids once a year
brake
front diff
rear diff
transmission, including the top shift port.
transfer case
coolant
washer fluid tank
proper maintenance will yield better performance

every year!? damn

I change all my fluids every two years along with my tune-up.

 

[Bad_Vision]

yes every year!

Yup, talked to my mechanic yesterday and got her an appointment for Monday morning.

Replace Oil Pan
Replace TCase Rear Output Seal
Replace Rear Pass E-Break Clip at Drum
Replace F/R Break Pads
Oil Change
Trans Fuild Change
TCase Fluid Change
F/R Diff Fluid Change

Coolant and Break Fluid was done within the past 3-months.

Gonna be a pricey trip to the Dr., but well worth it. I just hope he doesn't find anything wrong with the bottom end of the motor when the pan is off...
