[@tlsimmons7856]

Kudos for advising us to remove the filler plug BEFORE draining the fluid!!🙌🏻 That advice is pure gold to a self-taught mechanic that usually has to learn by trial & error! I appreciate you naming the bolt size as you remove them, & the excellent explanation of how the drive system operates, i.e., shaft, differentials, transfer case, etc.. TYVM!😚

[@marksantos2276]

You can really see how polished Chris' videos have become and how well he does on them now. Even with that, this is a great video to learn some basics

Yea man! Not bad at all. No special tools, cheap to do, and it definitively brings peace of mind because that transfer case is expensive lol Thanks for the comment!

Thanks Chris, I did the front different Fluid on my 99 Ranger v6 4x4 a few years ago. I have a 2011 Ranger V6 4x4 Ranger now. I just needed a refresher course on how to complete this task. Ironically I went to you back when I had my 99 Ranger to complete the Rear Diff and Front Diff on it a few years back. Excellent video!

[@chrisfix]

NakedSolidSnake1 That "protection thing" you are talking about is a vibration damper. It is to prevent small vibrations from causing wear in the transfer case so if you take it off, you can cause damage over the long term. Do you really think a car company wants to add extra stuff to their cars that costs them money (especially a big weight like that)?

[@chrisfix]

NakdSolidSnake Because bigger transfer cases weight more and have more mass to absorb vibration. Let me know what you find. I know for sure you need it because no car company will spend extra money on something they dont need.

What happened to the front diff fluid change?

[@etmccaus]

Was wondering this myself...would really like to see that one.

[@dylanniles8359]

It's the same thing with two bolts/plugs you unscrew and you fill it until fluid starts to come over the top.

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

No it isn't, there is no drain bolt on the front differential. You must remove the cover to drain.

[@XNY556-Apple]

You can also pump out the fluid through the fill hole then refill. (according to the Haynes manual) My Ranger (year 2000) does not have a drain plug.

[@brandonkillam2951]

Depending on what vehicle you have yes their is a fill and drain plug on the front dif

Cool vid man but your placing the thread locker on the wrong side of the bolt. Up near the head doesn't bite into anything.

[@andrewcrawford1400]

Dennis Moore I noticed that too..

[@calebhuddleston8714]

Dennis Moore he put it on the rust to prevent the bolt from snapping or just to make it easier on himself the next time he does this .
