I did notice you had a lot of gray matter come out of your rear end when you took that plug out.

[@markm0000]

I liked that close up shot.

[@mat3877]

I literally just had to do this last week. All of a sudden my differential gauges starting going all the way up to 300 degrees. Speedco was going to charge me $300 dollars to change my differential fluid. I was able to buy all of the oil, tools, and drain pans to do it myself for less than $250. And now going forward I don't have to do anything except buy the oil going forward to do it myself which saves a ton of money for not having to go to Speedco for $400 pms and etc. And by the way. My problem was clogged up breather valves was causing the overheating of the differentials. $3 breather valves almost cost me my rear ends. Unbelievable...

[@Barry_Harberson]

Aaah yes... The smell of axle oil... Gotta love it 😂. Great video ....

[@truckercarlson9081]

Wonder how much a dealer would charge to do this service.

[@Sloba1992]

I need to change diff oil in my Columbia, if someone using diff lock and they forgot to turn it off an drive for 100 miles amount of metal shaving is increasing, I believe new cascadia has speed sensor and if speed exceed 25mph it turn off diff lock automatically which is good.

[@467inc]

Really love your channel man

[@2ferone86]

How do you maintain the tolerance in your differential after removing all the shavings tho? 🤔 😄 I'm liking these educational preventative maintenance videos. 👍 Any chance you make a video of replacing those air bags or is it already done?

[@joehinojosa2420]

I’m planning on doing it myself too. Thanks for video, very helpful and everything covered

[@montedyoung3247]

Great content!

[@oldschoolnewschool6270]

That grey matter can be a sign of neglect. Better to catch it early and take care of it before it leaves you stranded, which you would take care of it before that happened anyway.

[@bamendaboy9956]

Thank you for the information

[@Starkeyfamilyfixing]

Great video

[@dok2304]

Now you have the transmission too.

[@DIYSEMI]

Stay tuned

[@juntong651]

Hello do you have any videos do transmission fluid change ?

[@kelleyskitchen9046]

Leave it to cash to make it gross

[@georgewilson1184]

I was always a company driver except for a short stint as a lease operator for Romar transportation systems Chicago Illinois doing crosstown piggy backs out of the rail yards and some local P&D Cartage work useing 1988 Mack R/model 350 maxidyne motor & 5 spd Maxitorque gear box we had a local Oil Jobber that supplied all our lubrication needs and also provided pick up & removal of all used lubrication fluids the contractor supplied all Citgo products which seemed to be fine but the whole point it find someone in your area that provides dependable service at a fair price and uses a major well known brand name lubricants supplier any way when I left Romar I was able to walk away from that deal unblemished & Scott free because the whole thing was pretty much verbal & hand shake I did not do a lot of paperwork correctly thru my haphazard ways the deal kind of self destructed but within 2 days they had another poor sap in that tractor trying to make a go of it I think he went about a full year from my sources

[@blacklilac1408]

Man you have to try AMSOIL Severe fear that stuff is amazing 😍. Also the Diesel oil is better than rotella

[@sheldonmcclaflin8904]

Per AMSOIL Severe Gear Oil/Lube for class 8 semi OTR trucks is good for up to 250,000 miles. Long Life Gear Oil/Lube for class 8 semi trucks is good for up to 500,000 miles.

[@berniesands6201]

How do you even over fill a diff. if it runs out of the fill hole when it's full anyway?

[@deanh7190]

May have been filled when truck was not level (leaned away from fill plug so plug higher than level).

[@heaappraiser4060]

Also, some differentials have a fill hole at the top of the axle housing. That means you could overfill it very easily.

[@MichaelZorn2]

Right sounds crazy to me. Sounds more like it was building pressure and lot of heat some how.

[@michaelguziak4680]

> > *THANK YOU, !!! < <

[@ofilippov]

I'm getting ready to change my oil for the first time. Some other videos show draining oil from the hubs too in addition to the differential housing also. Is this required or not?

[@mohamedmohamud8084]

Good stuff (preventive metainance ), have one question what is your take about resurfacing flywheel, took my frightliner cascadia to dealer for clutch change? Txk

[@DIYSEMI]

If doing the clutch may as well fesurface flywheel....you already have it apart

[@johncalvo1743]

Hi Paul. I have a small leak in my differential. Would it be from the plug or can it be from somewhere else?

[@TheSpeedyr6]

what about loctite

[@DIYSEMI]

Can use it

[@bobg8015]

Hey bud ,I have a 18 speed 389 Pit wanna change my Differential oil front and rear. Would you possibly know How many quarts it takes to fill the front and rear?

[@DIYSEMI]

Man I'm really sorry but i don't have time. A speedco will do it cheaper for you because they have bulk oil. probably around 12-15 qts per axle depending on the model. Front one always takes a little more than the rear due to the power divider

[@jobinglobin]

How was the rear end originally so full above the fill hole? Maybe it was on an angle whenit was filled?

[@DIYSEMI]

yes

[@richardr2362]

They could of probably filled it from the breather plug. I am telling you that cause my totally came out even the plug and you can put out trough there too

[@juntong651]

Do you have any transmission fluid change on DT 12 transmission freightliner cascadia?

[@rumplejesusskin]

Cant find Amsoil where I'm at in Odessa TX. What do you think of Lucas for diffs? Thanks for the diy maintenance videos

[@DIYSEMI]

amsoil.com I don't care for Lucas products

[@dok2304]

You had way more before. Maybe the truck was not on level ground. Best way to do it out of shop, is to see how much how much came out, and use same amount to put back.

[@omarh4694]

What size oil pan you need for this??

[@DIYSEMI]

5 gallon is plenty big

[@skid3339]

How to check the level after test drive ?

[@DIYSEMI]

Stick finger in. Oil should be up to the bottom of the fill hole

[@skid3339]

@@DIYSEMI got it, so same as when you fill it up the first time. Thanks great video 👍🏼👍🏼

[@MS-oz2wu]

I'd like to drain and fill my differentials as well. My concern is that using the finger test to check the level isn't possible because my thinking is the axle too is full of oil & it lubs the wheel bearings. What do you think about this? My take on your observation of an over fill, is that, what you actually had is oil, also, draining out of your axle as well. If so your axle oil, which may extend its self to the wheel bearings, too, could leave your axle and your bearings dry. Can you please speak to this? Thx for the vid.

[@DIYSEMI]

The axle housing is tapered and designed to account for that issue

[@simpletruckerstuff9478]

​@@DIYSEMIit is tapered. It looks like it's tapered dn into the differential! I just check with the Flying J tire & repair shop. They said it cost $210 per differentials. 3 gals at $58 a gal = $180 paying an extra $30, $210 is just about worth as apposed to doing it at home costing 2-3 hrs, is worth it. They're set up. I'm not. Anyway Thx4tv

[@DIYSEMI]

thats economical, just be sure to check their work, plugs tight etc

[@whatsinanamethatthecaptive577]

How does one overfill a diff by that much?

[@DIYSEMI]

park it on ground that isn't level

[@nba3512]

Hey DIY do you know if truck country in Wisconsin makes good glider trucks? I'm looking at this glider and supposedly it's a harrison. I called and they said it's truck country. Not sure

[@DIYSEMI]

Harrison makes the best glider kits. If it's a Harrison that's a bonus

[@nba3512]

@@DIYSEMItruck country also makes gliders??

[@DIYSEMI]

Don't know

Hi. Can I use Lucas oil?
