Changed Rear Diff Fluid Today
Changed the rear diff fluid today. After 64,000 miles, it was pretty nasty. Refilled with Mobil 1 70W90LS. I also replaced my diff cover, since it was getting crappy-looking---EVH stripe-job pics below. It took about 2-1/2 quarts to fill. Anybody who's thinking about doing this, do yourself a HUGE favor and buy a pump that screws onto the quart bottle (I got mine at Advance when I picked-up the gear lube). It was like 7 bucks and worth every penny.
You know you're a Van Halen fan when you do this:
Definitely not for everyone, I'm sure, but I love how it turned out.

Re: Changed Rear Diff Fluid Today
I'm not seeing how you kept it so sharp. I call only you will know you did it. Others will think you purchased it.

Nice job. The Judas Priest cover would have to have some razor blades or a screaming eagle.

Re: Changed Rear Diff Fluid Today
Thanks guys-
I'm pretty psyched with how it came out. After putting that cover on I reallized how bad my undercarriage looks after a long, hard winter. I did some wire-brushing and painting today, and also ordered some new RS9000XL shocks.
