Rear Diff oil change at 2000

[GSPHerder]

Rear diff oil change at 2000 miles, handful of decent sized shards on the drain plug, did a clean catch of the oil and there was grit suspended in the oil but no shards in the catch pan.

I did mine at aprox 30k . Didnt find any debris but oil looked as if it was due for change

I did both diffs, xfer case, and MTF at 50,000 km (30,000 mi), the rear diff magnet had some small shards on it, and the fluid was clearly very worn. MTF, front diff, and xfer case (used very frequently) looked super clean though. The rear diff takes a majority of the beating when daily driving though. I am at 80,000 km now so we will see if the wear improves at 100k

Good to know the xfer case is clean, gonna do the tranny soon.

I just did front/rear diff, transfer case, and transmission drain/fill - 21k miles. Front diff had the most gunk/debris. The rears were also pretty dirty but not as bad as front. The transfer and transmission were clean

I'm about to change out the fluids on mine now after seeing what has happened to your! Loaded down with all my gear I am running around 2000lbs over stock. I've beefed up the king coil over's springs and have changed out the rear Dobinson coil to the 821s.
I will be changing all fluids over too Amsoil, I have had 0 issues and better protection IMOP.

I was planning on waiting on the front diff but looks like they get pretty nasty so Ill do that next week.

Big fan of Amsoil Gear Oil.

Just did the front diff at 2100 miles, didnt see any chips on the magnetic drain plug but a thick grease like sludge and silvery metallic streaks mixed in the oil. Overall not too bad, probably could of waited a bit longer. Good to know that its good to go tho to at least 20k miles.
