Awesome, in that case I will put 6+ inches of lift, hack the fenders out, 40's and I should be good to go right?

:facepalm really hard:

 

sorry .. couldnt resist this thread .. Im about to replace diff fluids

front is def a dana 30

heres my rear

what is recommended fluid? I have the heavy duty hitch, but dont plan on towing anything .. maybe pull vehicles stuck in snow

a decent weight for daily use ... and some random towing, maybe a 16' boat now & then .. but I do see alot of snow

synthetic or standard ? yes, I will remove plate & clean inside . what kind of spray to use?

so .. these are beefier ? body is '93 .. dont know if this axle was swapped .. where should I look for makers mark ? ..... thanks

(jeep has 3" rancho lift, 31" new AT tires .. havnt checked out the rear end real good yet, its coming, front end is keepin me busy)

 

^14 bolt

 

Since i see everyone posting pics of 8.25s, ill post my dana 35 LOL

 

is that common for a '93? luckily it had decent fluid in it, but changin it real soon

 

You have a 8.25

 

8.25 because of flat bottom

 

recommended fluid ? synth or standard ?


I remember you man .. just did my 3rd axle U-joint, thanks to your help a while back .. new project is kicking !! front end is getting close to refurbed

 

75w90 syn

 

I'd use royal purple synthetic. It might have been another person, there is another norcaljeeper on here

 

whats the capacity ? book is too basic on this one .. 1/2 inch below fill hole

what actual measure ? for 8.25

 

well you can take a zip tie put a bend in it, then measure 1/2 inch down from the bend and mark it, then hang the bend into the hole and fill until you get up to the line you marked (you will have to take it out and check it a lot). thats how we used fill atv diffs

 

2qts on the dot for a 8.25 will put the fluid level just below the fill hole.

 

While I get the humor, it's probably a poor idea to intentionally post wrong info. It's obvious to some of us but it's likely going to really screw up beginners.

 

yep 2 qts on the dot dont go with royal purple dont get me wrong its GREAT stuff but to rich for my blood I work at oreillys and there syn is good stuff for cheaper like half the cost. IMO
