After changing the oil in my front and rear diff, I wanted to know of there's anything special to do. By this I mean to get the oil in the bearings and such. Do you just start off slow I guess?

 

You will want to engage the 4x4 occasionally if you don't use it regularly, just to keep everything working smoothly.

 

Nothing special that I know of. As long as you had some fluid running out of the fill hole when you filled the diffs. Throw the plugs back in and drive it like you normally would.

 

yeah I've always done that from time to time, but driving it for the first time after the oil change, should I start off slow and let it warm up before I drive normally? I imagine that the brake cleaner dries out the bearings

 

uh oh... you sprayed brake cleaner on the bearings??? BIG mistake


just kidding... you can just drive it normally right away.

 

I knew you were kidding
And by dry out the bearings, I just meant the oil

 

I do a few figure eights after servicing the rear axle just make sure the axle bearings get oil to them.
