the barking earned you a new subscriber 😂😂, enjoy your vids already

[@looseaxles]

Bahahha. Thanks my man!

[@PRaysCorner]

Spillage... I feel your pain. Happens to me all the time. Thank you for sharing this!

[@looseaxles]

Haha! Worst part of the job. Thanks for watching.

How many miles do you have on your rig?

[@looseaxles]

270k KM!

[@icy_vxbez45]

You ever changed the cv axle?

[@looseaxles]

A few! This truck hasn’t needed one yet!

[@yfzyamaharoy]

Are they the same gaskets for the rear diff?

[@looseaxles]

I can’t remember for sure. I have videos on the T case and both diffs that will confirm that info for ya!

[@dougfunk01]

The rear fill and drain plugs use the same gasket as the front fill plug. the front drain plug has a different one since the bolt is so different. what's odd is the transfer case uses a completely different gasket even though the bolts are the same as the rear and front diffs

[@jeepthing98]

how much fluid does the front transfer case take?

[@looseaxles]

Should be all in the transfer case video!

[@dougfunk01]

1.6qt for the front diff. 1.5qt for transfer case. 3.2qt for rear diff

[@looseaxles]

Thrilled to hear it Matthew! Congrats on the 2007 buy - it’s the best year in my opinion ;) We got tons more content coming - stoked to have you along for the ride!

[@andrewh9281]

what size hex bolt

[@looseaxles]

10mm I believe.

[@armondhammer9]

dude i think you should address the oil leak first... that diff looks covered in oil...

[@looseaxles]

Just dirt and grease from old torn CV’s :)
