- Flushed power steering system with a flush chemical and refilled with semi synthetic fluid by BG Products HERE. I used the BG quick clean (purple can), ran the truck a bit, turned the wheels back and forth a lot stop to stop, then flushed and refilled with the BG red 'Power Clean' power steering fluid.
- Did a rear diff service, went from 75w90 synthetic and this diff cover:
(NOTE: That liquid under the truck is water, not oil -- from slush dripping off the chassis)
To this cover filled with 5.5 quarts of AMSOIL 75w110 gear oil:
- Then I did an oil change/chassis lube. First I added some engine flush (LINK), and idled the engine for a bit, then drained and refilled with 15w40 dino oil and a Fleetgaurd Stratopore oil filter.
- Next I changed the fuel filter and air filter. I used the Fleetgaurd Stratopore fuel filter, and the NAPA 9946 air filter with 4" pleats.
Weather was great, all work was done over at my buddies place. What a great way for a gearhead to spend a Saturday afternoon. Thanks Ron (CND Supercrew) for lending me the gear oil pump. It made the job much easier!

Stock, it held about 3.6L (just under 4 quarts). I have serviced it twice in stock form. This time, I bought 6 quarts, and I used 5.5 of them give or take.
Here's a shot of one I got off the web that shows the depth better (not my truck).
I like the PPE cover as it has fins on the inside too. Most are smooth on the inside and have fins just on the outside.
Good job IB but from my experience its really hard waxing those fins
You mention "lube" also. So you did get the front drive shaft lubed also
That little needle don't do much good if you can find the hole. Terrible design with no lube zerks IMO. Yeah old school comings out I guess.

Great job ib516 but I have a question, being that you are from Canada why don't you have your truck sprayed with Krown to stop the rust? I live in Mi and get my vehicles sprayed every year, and I have zero rust anywhere.

and you've motivated me to quit putting it off and man up.
