Help changing Trans Case , transmisison, and differentials fluid.
Im going down the 60k service for my DI with 168000 miles and I need some help with some of the fluids, Trans case, trannsmission and differentials.:Which one should I do first, would it take to long to do all of them in one shot, any pictures or intructions on how to do it?
Use 75W/140 gear oil instead of the lighter oil, your gears will hold up better, you'll need 7 quarts.
As for the tranny, how long ago was it changed and was a filter replaced the last time?

Put the front of the truck up on ramps, do the front diff first, then remove the fill/check plug on the transfer case and drain the t-case.
Then refill the t-case and replace the fill/check plug.
Now put the rear of the truck up on your ramps, top off the t-case, then drain and fill the rear diff.
You will want a hand pump, it will cost you about $10 at any store from the sutomotive section.
Like Mike said, 7 qts of gear lube will be needed.
The diffs and t-case are full when fluid comes out of the fill/check hole.
And make darn sure that you top off the t-case after you put the back of the truck up on ramps because it will be to low on fluid if you only fill it with the front of the truck up on ramps.

Before you do the t/case, find the fill plug first or you won't be able to refill it.
Also on all e, when you remove the drain plugs, look at the magnetics and make sure there are no chunks of metal.
What about the tranny, when was the filter last changed? Does the tranny oil look real brown, maybe smell burned?

I don't know when was the last time that the tranny filter was replaced, I already ordered one from AB , so I'll probably let my mechanic to change the filter and the fluid, the oil has a golden brown color , and Its not smelling burned.
I've changed all my fluids over a two night period except the tranny fluid.
All I say is buy the pump that they are talking about. It takes contorting out of the job and makes it easier. I just laid under the LR and was good to go.
