Default Some maintenance progress

So I did front and rear diffs and transfer case oil change yesterday, also cleaned throttle body and MAF sensor. The front and rear diffs were brown mud, by the looks of it I am guessing original. The truck has 128,000 on it. Replaced with Royal Purple 75/90.
Both plugs looked like this
Diff fluid

Might be brown, but at least it isn't too glittery! The swarf on the plug is minimal. Seems like your diffs are OK.

Default Thanks!

Thats good to hear! I rubbed some of the oil between my fingers, didnt feel gritty so hopefully good for a while. I will do another flush next motor oil change. Saw some mobil 1 75/90 next to royal purple. Anyone use that?

Here are some pics of throttle body before and after.

Nice work! I put RP in my front diff when I changed it the second time. The containers they come in make it almost unnecessary to have a suction gun
