Love being able to reference your videos, no matter how old, when I perform upgrades to my Jeep! Thought I'd share that a good habit when changing diff covers is to use a pick to check the bottoms of the bolt holes in the diff for dried rtv. I've had instances where whoever last worked on the diff applied way too much rtv and forced it into the holes. This has resulted in the new bolts compressing the dry rtv and shearing off as a torque wrench will not indicate appropriately in such a case. I sure learned the hard way! Bolt extraction can be a pain!

I get it the first time you spilled, but then you did it two more times without putting carboard down and moving the catch container underneath. Sorry but that seemed to just be a no brainer to me.

@autoedits great video! I just grabbed a pair of the new style G2 Hammer diff covers for my Gladiator. It was either the new G2 Hammer or the ARB Diff cover and I went with the G2 because I've seen a lot of the ARB covers with rusty logos and bolts after a short while, even though I like the design of the cover itself. G2 has a good price point considering I'm not paying for features I don't need like a sight window or dipstick and they powder coat the whole cover inside and out and provide stainless hardware. I'll let ya know after I install them how I like them.

Sorry guys, it depends on the application. I know the shiny beveled edge looks better facing out, but that leaves the sharp edge facing in and that can gall the surface when tightening. Also, it depends on the type of washer. Such as spring or conical washers. These have to be used with cup side in to get the benefit of design. I’m getting to long winded. I deal with the washer issue in my job all the time and have installers go back and flip washers, and at times we are talking well over a hundred. They just love me for that. Lol

I was forced into servicing my rear diff on my Rubicon because the rear locker got stuck and wouldn't release. After doing a brake cleaner douche and fiddling with the locker, I was able to get it to release. I was amazed at how much pasty muck was inside the locker actuator that was causing it to stick. So if your Rubicon axle lock gets stuck, just douche it out and change the oil after releasing the locker.

Really starting to get into your channel, love you content. Question for you is that doesn't alloy crack as opposed to stamped steel would just dent on a rock? If nothing else they do look great and the extra oil is a bonus for the diff. On a side note, the Dana 44s on my grand called for 75w140 - could you use that grade in the jk?

iVlogBuzz 75w-140 is the spec for towing or heavy off-road. Realistically, with 37's and the higher gears, it wouldn't have hurt to run the thicker oil.

My buddy Kris from Powerstop recommended this stuff and I've been using it exclusively for 2 years now and it seems to keep everything happy.

This was helpful. I was wondering about why to use the lower weight oil as well. Great Vid!
