It’s a good idea to loosen the fill plug before you do anything else. If for some reason it is stripped or seized you want to deal with that before draining the fluid.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

👍

[@Basscouch]

Your build is much cleaner than mine.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks! It should be getting a lot more upgrades soon

[@GWalker-b2z]

Thanks for the video on the differential fluid change. Like the C2 in the background.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Welcome thanks for watching, we linked all the parts in the description. The Corvette has been in our family for a long time!

[@robv4053]

A fluid evacuator will be a favorite tool addition, especially for a hauler where we need to change fluids more frequently. Can change the diffs and T-case in under an hour. Best part, and you probably know what the RAM rear acts like when the fluid is cooked, is you can quietly change the fluid in a campground or in a parking lot, put the old fluid in the empty fill bottles, and drop them for fluid recycling.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Yeah I thought about getting one of them. Maybe every other change. It's definitely a good idea to remove the pan every once and a while. Getting all the small metal shavings out. Thanks for the great advice Rob!

[@robv4053]

@@AdventureEndeavor For sure! The hand pumped vacuum evacuators can't lift the metal dust, but an air compressor powered one will but not as travel-friendly. Being half-timers, still have my shop and tools. Nonetheless, I'm with you though, occasional close up inspection still a must! Enjoy your "moochdocking" stay you guys!

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks again! I'll look into one for sure!

[@RyanC0784]

I’m shocked you found a 10mm. Love your guys videos. Keep it up

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Hahaha Ryan that's too funny! Only people who work on cars will get it. Glad you enjoy them, thanks for watching!

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Great information. It's good that you're handy. thank you for sharing.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thank you! It definitely helps to have some skills with vehicles. Thanks for watching.

Hi Jessie, great tip's on changing the Differential Fluids. I didn't know the newer trucks need it so often. My 1500 is over like 24 years old and haven't changed my rear-end fluid yet lol!! Maybe I should I have a little over 326K on it (wow). But most of it is all Freeway & Highway miles. Those Chingaderas sometime's mess me up hahahaha. I like the way you explain about how to keep it clean and it's importance, the way you clean the gasket ect Very thorough. I appreciate it. Thank you for the video my friend. Safe travels!!

[@AdventureEndeavor]

You are welcome David glad you enjoyed it. We tried to be as through as possible, hopefully helping others who have no mechanical knowledge. Wow 326k that's great might be time to change the diff fluid lol hahaha

[@DavidSmith-vo3nd]

@@AdventureEndeavor hahahaha

[@vicdean7393]

They don’t need diff fluid changed that often, that’s extremely early. It’s a sealed system unlike the engine oil.

[@TheKlamminator]

Didn't even know you could reuse those gaskets. Good to know for the future

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Yup! Metal and rubber!

[@Philipians121]

Can you reuse front and back?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

@Philipians121 on my 2016 Ram 2500 yes you can reuse the front and the rear

[@lancecull5716]

Great video.. I recently replaced the rear factory diff cover with a Banks Diff cover. You should check it out. Plus, it makes changing the oil pretty simple.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Nice Lance! How is that diff cover for offroad protection? I feel like it might be aluminum? Thanks for watching BTW

[@lancecull5716]

@@AdventureEndeavor I believe you might be right but it is stout. It does hang down a tad but Banks made it sound like its built for off roading as well.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Copy that! Thanks for the information ill be checking it out!👍

[@567caboverbob]

@@lancecull5716 you made the right choice. All others DO NOT have the same interior profile that ensures oil at the top of the ring gear, Banks does it right.

[@scottboger7327]

Great video! Getting ready to tackle mine!

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks for watching hopefully it was helpful. Simple job.

[@rickbrown7067]

Try the new Valvoline in the soft package, works great.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Awesome we will check out! Thanks

[@Harrisbuilt1]

Great video. Thanks for sharing If you had to flush either diff, what would you suggest?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Flush? Typically I do what we did in the video. Or you can suck out the majority of the old fluid and put new stuff in. With a good pump. You can get about 90% out.

[@Basscouch]

I'm thinking with that built engine, might as well put a sidewinder manifold and a turbo on it.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

My engine is stock

[@Cody.Franklin]

How do you recommend cleaning the gears? Had a friend say just use brake cleaners to soak it down to flush it out. Is there a problem with using brake cleaner on the gears?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

That's exactly what I do.

[@mkatravels]

Great video!!

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Thanks babe!

[@WCA-k1f]

5th gen RAM? Sorry if I overlooked in the vid. Great video!

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Our ram is a 2016.

[@stevenlaubach5947]

Lets see the Vette!!!!!

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Haha maybe we can show that a little more

[@ottocornett1151]

Damn. I didn’t know it was every 20k miles, I don’t remember the last time I did mine and it has 209k miles but runs great 😬. So I’m doing it today 😂

[@AdventureEndeavor]

That's probably fine to be honest

[@2003evodave]

Hint,,,,,I always uses degreaser and pressure wash the axle before disassembly. Makes the whole process a lot easier and cleaner.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Good idea.

[@1DonMay]

This question is not about what you were talking about in this video. How do you find potable water and do you have a list of types of places?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Hey Don happy to help. So we can almost always find potable water. We use apps like compendium.com, ioverlander and tv parks, worst case scenario we can pay 5-10$ at a campground. Hope this helps, thank you for watching!

[@1DonMay]

@@AdventureEndeavor Thanks for your help.

[@StabEDealin]

I’m about to do this on my truck, is this an Aisin transmission? The rear diffs look a bit different on mine vs the 68rfe. Just wondering if there’s any big differences before I dive in.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Nope we have the 68rfe

[@StabEDealin]

@@AdventureEndeavor Okay thanks, the fronts look the same anyway. Thanks for the video.

What year is that C2 Corvette?

[@AdventureEndeavor]

It's a 1961, it's pretty rad and it's been in our family almost all of its life!

@@AdventureEndeavor I have a 1963 and it has been in my family for most of its life as well. All original with matching numbers

[@JohnCurrent-x8j]

If you have trash control, you need limited slip fluid I was told

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Not according to my manual

[@jamesswain2923]

As if. No drain plug in the front
