Roverguy.com (will tillery) will sell you two metal diff plugs for $10. They're an identical plug off a RRC.

I'm going to take 'em to home depot to find a good o'ring fit.

lipadj46...you were right on with the 'O' ring...mine were just fine. Though I think I will get the brass plugs Disco Mike suggested for the future.
Redline is a better product across the board IMO.

It costs me $35 to do both diffs and t-case.

I have a 97 DI. I used Mobil 1 75w90 in the front and rear diffs and swivel ball joints. I have not done the transfer case yet. The Mobil One was about 8 bucks a quart.

I cannot find the Mobil One except for quart size. I saw a 2 gallon jug of both 75w90 and 75w145 at a Tractor Supply store for 25 bucks for either grade. I am looking to get as good a price as possible on a good product.

Any suggestions? Does anyone carry Mobil one or other synthetics in gallon or larger size quantities, hate to buy it by the quart is possible to et a better deal.

Will is a great guy to get a deal from, I have purchased a few things from him, they have all been very good deals. The price he quotes you on the phone is the total including shipping and it has always been excellent on the items I bought. Just know what you need when you call him, he is a very busy man.
