The way this dude grunts kills me 🤣☠️

I just did this the other day. Easiest dosh darn job ever when ya have a gasket. 5 bucks for the paper fel pro gasket. And 8 bucks for some differential rtv. A lot of off-road guys I talked to said the light film of rtv on paper gaskets helps. And incase it leaks, you still got some rtv left over to do it again.

175 thousand miles and still looking new. Guess I’ll wait on changing mine as I only have 132 thousand miles on it

I noticed my diff has had a small leak for months and today the rear end started whining at highway speeds. Gonna do this hopefully it goes away once I put new fluid in it.

[@gostros407]

Do the make aftermarket covers with a drain plug for the Rangers?

[@deanallred6496]

you definitely don't live in the rust belt

[@473828]

There isn’t any detergent in oil for differentials, so it will always look clean.

[@burrheadjr]

Good to know!

[@Ryancocopuff]

Was that a 1/2” drive or 3/8” drive that you used to remove the fill plug?

[@burrheadjr]

3/8 in

[@deeman77777]

There is no drain plug on the rear diff? You really need to remove the cover to change the fluid?

[@burrheadjr]

For the Ranger, Yes, you must remove the cover. There is no drain plug.

This dude grunts and moans more than my girlfriend XD

Eew factor.

[@path2049]

Any oil leak from the pinion seal?

List of products with links?

Using a ratchet to break your bolts ??? Just kidding, thanks for the vid.

[@robinjones6451]

Wd-40 does not penitrate so how are the bolts

[@burrheadjr]

It isn't as good as liquid wrench (which I use at 5:00 in) but it does help with rust.

[@zachgeerdes9684]

Did it leak any?

[@burrheadjr]

Nope

[@kevinkempton1631]

What kind of fluid did you use 75w-90 ?

[@burrheadjr]

Yes, that is it, if you freeze the frame at 9:41, you can kinda see it on the bottle, I should have done more to call out the type of fluid I was using.
