The big blue turd

Yeah just fill it and go. There shouldn't be any load on it in 2wd. BTW, how the fuck did you lose ALL of your diff fluid? There's no freaking way if would all come out at the CV, and unless you forgot to put the drain plug in at all, there's no way it would all come out that fast. You think maybe you didn't fill it right?

Well his puddle of diff fluid was way smaller then ours, maybe he didn't top it off like we did...

The tech didn't really say, I know he had determined there was nothing wrong with the harness or the ecu and was then fucking around with the valve body. I was billed for like 5hrs and a solenoid, I'm guessing the solenoid was the problem.

What was up with your oil leak up front? Mine is leaking at the cv's.

IDK, I havn't fucked with it just parked it and let it be, gonna go out and see whats up later today/tomorrow. Prob my CV wasn't seated all the way so the seal wasn't seated so I'll try that first. But first I gotta go get a new allen head socket mine is fucking gone can't find the damn thing.

I just drained my diff and filled it back up with royal purple. I think mine was just over filled. It takes 1.5 quarts BTW.

 

[drew02a]

So why is your front diff still leaking? Did you replace the seals? Cracked housing?

Not sure thought the axle seal was wasted but I just replaced that and it's still leaking all be it not nearly as bad not it's just a mild drip before it would spew out an entire quart of gear oil just driving to town and back like 15 miles.

Maybe you fucked up that metal ring on the CV worse than you thought?

 

[AlienXtx]

That sux, mine stopped leaking after I refilled it and drove around in 4x4.

Possibly but I straightened the ring out as much as possible, I'm gonna tear it down again and see if there is something I forgot or some grime in the seal.

I may try this, Havn't driven around in 4x4 at all since the swap.

Until the infamous night, I had NEVER had any luck popping one out with a pry bar. I always end up going to get a slide hammer with a puller attachment.

I was out at my friend's ranch in Comfort. Just a dirt road, but it was raining, and I wanted to see how bad the front dig was.
