60k service DIY guide?

Postby BattleWagon » Mon Jun 27, 2011 9:30 pm

Is there any thread or reference that is all inclusive on how and what to do for a DIY 60k mile service?

How to service front and rear difs, ATF, tips and tricks?

thanks!

new member btw, sorry for my ignorance if such a thread exists, I searched.

May help as a start... though I've not explored the service section myself.

I did all the 60k service myself. The diffs have holes to drain and refill gear oil. I just did a drain and refill on the AFT fluid as well. There's a drain plug on the transmission pan. Welcome to the forum!
