Do you even still have the truck?
If so, I'd try to get it flushed while it's under warranty.
Still got it, will hit 29k miles tomorrow. 30k service calls for diffs/trans so I’ll be swapping them out sooner than later.

Still zero trans issues.

I've got the old V6 and 6spd auto, just rolled over 34k miles and no trans issues to speak of. At some point, it'll be replaced with a FS truck, but not until it's truly needing to be replaced; or we win the lottery

Nice, I'm at 23,900 right now.
I need to check the manual, I wouldn't have thought 30k for the diff. That seems short, but not unbelievable.

That’s what my service advisor told me, but I haven’t looked at the manual yet to confirm.

Probably not a bad idea.
I'll probably switch to Redline fluid in the diff.

I’ve used Redline fluids in the past, they always worked well for me.

Only "issue" I've had with their fluid is the Getrag 206 in the E30 requires slow and gentle shifts when it's cold, and I mean less than 80 degrees.
Once it's warm it can be driven like a sports car. Could be the fluid, could be a transmission with 200k miles. :iono:

That's why I say issue in quotes, because it's just a thing it does.

Are they new fenders or just a cutting template and flares?

Probably wise.

Will also help you keep interest in the truck as the :plac: doldrums set in.

Amazon to the rescue! Had a slow leak from a puncture so I swapped out the spare for the leaking tire. Turns out it’s a basic stem and not a tpms in the spare. Thanks to the Repptar my spare is another stock alloy ram.
$18 dollhairs later and it’ll be here Saturday. :notbad: I should schedule an oil change soon too.

Nope, got the now spare patched up but since I have 5 of the same wheels and tires I want to put a little mileage on the tire that was the spare.

He ordered a TPMS stem.

Took me much longer to figure this out than I care to admit.

:truk: is back! 1.25” level makes a nice little difference. I’ll need to adjust headlights and probably the Baja Designs.

Now to find some elusive 255/75/17s; oddly enough not many options for a stock JK/JL size. May end up with a MT.
