Differential Fluid
how do you check the level of fluid? Got tires on it about a week ago and they said it had a slight leak, i just want to fill it back up with a little bit because im planning on swapping out all the fluids this winter? so any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Re: Differential Fluid
You pull out the fill plug with a 3/8 ratchet and short extension (it's on the inside of the diff on the driveshaft side) and fill it up until fluid comes out the hole

Re: Differential Fluid
Go to your local auto parts place and get a screw on pumper that will allow you to force fluid in without getting the bottle angle just right. It makes things way simpler and less messy.

Re: Differential Fluid
The fluid bottles all come with an angled tip. I had no issues filling mine up. Just add fluid till it comes out the hole. Pretty easy.
