Drained and put new gear oil in both diffs. The rear had some water in it but not much, the front looked as good as new and if I was a betting man it was factory 90w.

Towing seems to be the theme lately, I just had to tow my buddies ice cream truck to his house after he broke down (ignition switch went bad). I saved him $150 for a 3 mile tow.
