On the oil note, I still use paper gaskets and only paper gaskets on my diffs and never have leaks (actually I think they're fel pro fiber on my 60) the rear 14 is paper. Anyhow, no goop is my point, I hate scraping crap to prep surfaces... I'm always in a hurry!

Looking good. I spent a couple hours under my truck last night... my face looked like a chimney sweep, I gotta get the bottom side steam cleaned.


Haha, took me a minute. I was pretty tired from thrashing on it last night. When I figured it out, I had a desperately needed laugh!. Ive found it necessary to have a sense of humor with this thing

As far as the oil, I have a couple of half or more full jugs of 75 -80 which should fill it and get rid of the jugs at the same time. I usually use that "Right Stuff" and its never leaked. Im trying something different this time called a "Lube Locker" gasket. It was recommended with the Yukon bearings from Amazon. In a moment of weakness, I caved. Haven't filled it yet but Im sure it will be fine. Still gotta grease a few tie rods and tighten their adjusters.

I was slackin tonight as the kid's first day of summer was today. My youngest is camping in the backyard with her girlfriend from next door and my boy is in bed vomiting. Woo hoo! Summer break! Hopefully I can hit it hard on Saturday.
