So in case anybody cares.
Changed the fluid out yesterday and I was definitely over thinking how to get the truck level part. lol
I forget once you start jacking up the diff, the suspension will go up with it. So I had plenty of lift from my floor jack to get the tires off the ground and trans level.
I got it pretty close to level, the bubble was just a little closer to the line on one side, but If I want up one more notch on my jack stands it would have been too high.
About those jack stands. So I happy I went and bought some 6 ton stands. My punny 2 tons would need a lot of wood to sit on to reach the axle and that would be scary when getting the truck into 2nd gear. Thanks
@Wild one and
@EdGs.
Adding fluid with a hot exhaust sucks!!!! Like why the *** is the fill port right where both exhaust meet? I burned myself twice. lol
Next time I will wear some burn sleeves.
Took a little over 5qts but I think I accidently went into 4th gear when doing the 2nd gear procedure, the truck spun so easy with the tires off the ground. Never done that before so it felt weird. hahaah
But it shifts a little smoother especially when going from PRND. Still have the bump thing, but just going to live with it.
Going to just drain and fill the fluid maybe after Christmas and should be good for while since I don't tow very often.
Thanks again guys for the help and confidence. Also helped having a few buddies around to make things go faster.
