146,733 - Transfer Case fluid, F/R Differential fluid, and Power Steering Fluid - R&R

Drained and re-filled the transfer case fluid with 1.8 qts. Mobile 1 75-90W.
  • I don't know if it's ever been done before but the old fluid looked tan/light brown, like me.

Drain/Refill front and rear differential fluid.
  • Front looked okay - refilled with Valvoline 80w-90
  • Rear was more brownish - refilled with Mag 1 80W-90 (says it's for Limited Slip but compatible with everything else. I hope it doesn't break anything.)
Power steering fluid R & R.
  • Just drained and refilled P/S reservoir with Valvoline Dextron III ATF.

Baselining.

Been doing some reading over at ih8mud.com and figured I should do a baseline of all my fluids and maintenance items.

These are some things on the list and some appropriate links:

1. Change front and rear differential fluid. Also change transfer case fluid.
