you didnt put ATF in the differentials did you? diffs should be 80w90 gear oil, with the additive if you have limited slip

I put 80 w90 in the diffs it said limited slip on the bottle but I still added the modifier anyways. It was dirty in the front and rear diffs but the t case was pretty clean but still changed it and it seems to be riding alot better. it was kinda jerky when at full wheel lock but not really anymore and some noises went away when driving at higher speed. kinda scary that some people dont know this stuff needs to be changed every so offten.

Just a word about changing fluids that most people don't know about. Change your brake fluid and bleed the brakes once in a while. I don't know how much moisture is a problem in hot climates, but in snow country brake fliud absorbs water fast resulting in caliper pistons rotting and master cylinder problems.

Just a word to the wise!

Good call I was planning on changing every fluid in it but just taking care of the drive train first. Its over 100 deg in the summer and like 8 percent humitty. lol when money allows ill be doing brakes and power steering and all that good stuff
