Front differential change

[jtower97]

60k Miles, new to me so I am going through the process of changing all fluids.

Just finished the front diff.

It was a milky gray. Doesn’t smell burned, but boy am I glad I changed it.

I also changed the transfer case fluid, and it was burned to a crisp. Black. And smelled very burned.

Milky not good. Like a milkshake?

No, not like there was water in it.
Just the color of a milky gray.
If this site allowed me to post pics, I’d post one. I captured the first pint into a clear container.

Why can't you post pics? Right next to "post reply" is a box that says "upload a file". If you hit that you have the option of where to find the picture to upload to the site.

I’ve tried it on the site and with Tapatalk. Gives me an error every time. Just tried it again on Tapatalk and it says “the field discussion state was not recognized”

I've never used tapacrap so I wouldn't know about that but I've never had a problem in all the years I've been on here using either Chrome, IE or Safari. Try using a browser.

Milky gray means nothing. I change ALL my fluids out of new vehicles at 1,000 miles and on my GM vehicles they all come out milky gray and smell funny.
I don't care who makes the vehcile I never trust what they put in for fluids so I always us high quality fluids and dump what they put in. Same goes for shocks on new vehciles. I change them out at 1,000 miles also.

Why would you change the shocks at 1000 miles? OEM shocks are usually some of the best made, and if you're talking about something like the Nivomat GM shocks you'd be spending $1500 for no reason. Pretty much any of the SUV shocks with Autoride are high quality and expensive. And the fluids GM puts in their vehicles is high quality also, full synthetic these days.

I’ve been doing the same thing with fluids on every new vehicle I’ve purchased at the 1-2k mile mark for the same reason, plus there is always break in metal in the fluid and I don’t want that floating around in there.
