I need to crawl back under it and put some fresh Amsoil in the differential. Hopefully this weekend.

I finally had a beautiful morning to change the differential fluid. The pig has some fresh Amsoil Severe Gear 75w90 in it. It's been 80K since I changed it last. :facepalm:

Awesome! I should have sent you an oil analysis kit for you to send a sample of the old fluid in to see what it was like.

I hate changing the diff fluid. That crap stinks. I'll have to admit, even though it had that distinct aroma to it, the severe gear that I drained out was not as bad as conventional gear oil.

It's great fluid. I change mine out every 100k miles. I have used oil analysis showing it is still good with little wear and I could extend it if I wanted to.

That's good to know. As long as this truck doesn't start to nickel and dime me, I'm going to drive it till it croaks.
