fluid change today!

Well I went after it and battled a couple rain storms. Changed the front & rear Diff fluis, T-case and fuel filter. I also took samples of the front & rear diff & t-case fluids and will report back when I get results. The diff fluids did not look too bad but were pretty thin. I went with Valvoline 75/90 synthetic for the diffs and valvoline atf+4 synthetic in the t-case. The T case fluid looked great. All and all it was an easy job for all of the above to do. Just getting things done between rain down poors was the PIA..

Hey Chris.

Glad you got 'er done today between storms. I wondered how it was going. We have gotten a 1x36 today rain wise, but the wind was just unbelievable. Needless to say, I did nothing on the list of things to do. I bet you will see some improvment from the diff and t-case fluid changes. I can't wait to see you analysis reports.

the wind was blowing here pretty good as well. We were going to weld up Wild04.5's exhaust (bring the tip closer to the body) and did not want to chance it with the wind and the wire feed.
