Bought new brass fill plugs for my diffs. Don't want to deal with the old plastic ones any longer. I am planning on changing the oils in both diffs and my T case in the next few days. Couple questions...

Can I use the same oils for both diffs and the t case (just want to make sure)? And what are some weight suggestions? I have heard a lot of differing opinions. I am thinking about 75w-140 because I have some whining noise from a diff or the t case. No vibrations or grinding so I believe the oil will fix it. Thoughts?

 

Made a spark plug wire removal tool today





Havent tried it yet but got the idea from a MB forum -- had a few mins today to whip it up, came out alright I guess.

 

New drinking game: every time Saturnine posts that smiley icon you drink. Double drink if he posts it when it doesn't even make sense in context, above for example

I took a part of my D2 back to Auto Zone today lol. A month ago one of their generic non Bosch CPS “almost” left me stranded at Kemah, but it cooled and my D2 finally fired up & got me home. Slapped in a new spare Bosch & then waited for my local Auto Zone to get one in stock. Soon as they did I warrantied that sucker!! I was pleased that I got an OEM Bosch this time. The no name lasted 4 months before it went belly up in Kemah. I do like how easy it is to warranty stuff at Auto Zone. I was maybe in there all of 5min.

 

Took the spring out of a small flashlight to fix the horn button.

Replaced ignition switch/key as per Atlantic British.

3 amigos shuttle valve bypass didn't work. I need to pull the codes.

 

Cool, sometimes it's a little thing like that that makes the job so much easier...or tolerable anyway.

Don't drink (if you can believe that, owning two rovers and all). Not that I wouldn't like to start, but the rovers keep me to broke. Heck, eating is becoming an issue...lol.
