I intend to check the fluid levels on all of the gear boxes and diffs on my truck before it leaves the dealer lot. Can anydody tell me what tools I need to bring with me. Thanks Jason

 

I see you ordered yours....I wouldn't take a tool one with me as I'd have the dealer check everything before I took delivery. If they're a quality dealership, they'll listen to your concerns or better yet, print out the thread on the differential underfills, and give them a copy. As I was saying, if they're worth their salt, they check and fill as appropriate once they've learned of your concern. And all before you pick it up.<br><br>Then, if you're still concerned, check it when you get one. But I'm sure the dealer will have covered themselves prior to delivery - assuming you make your concerns known before taking deliver.<br><br>I picked mine up last Saturday and didn't know about the differential underfills until I got home. I checked it and it was low...the dealer told me I could bring it in or they would give me a couple quarts to fill it. I opted to do it myself and yes, it was only one quart low. I used the one quart and returned the other unopened to the dealer with a thanks and a smile for trusting me - then they thanked me and apologized for the underfill from the factory...gave me a free Dodge hat for the troubles. Great dealership.<br><br>

Let them do it, but be adamant about them letting you underneath it to stick your finger in yourself.

 

Bill Butler in Warner Robins Ga. checked mine before I left the Dealership. Guess what? I checked it when I got home and it was 24 oz low :

 

Thanks for the replies. I think I will give them the opportunity to make it right, then recheck later and see if they are trustworthy.<br>Thanks Jason
