I called the dealer and they said about $185 for this service. Is that a normal price for draining some fluid and refilling it? I don't think I can pay someone $185 for something so simple. Wish I had a garage. Or a friend with a garage. Or a friend. |

its not that hard or expensive.... its something you could do with out a garage.. when i changed the kk over to syn oil, it cost me like 70 or 80 bucks to buy the Royal purple and do my diffs, trans, ands t case.... just check out the kj forum section and you should be able to find out the procedures to do the job |

yeah its easy. front is super easy( easy as changing oil) rear is a little harder since it doesnt have a drain plug. well i wouldnt say harder just takes longer. |

The synthetic fluid for the front differential is probably the most expensive portion of this whole operation. Shoot - even a quick lube shop could do this for half that price and in far less time! |

Here's what you need: - Cardboard for laying on the ground - Full syn fluids for front/rear (about 20-30) bucks depending on brands, etc - basic mechanics tools (socket set with some hex keys make life easier on the front) - $5 tube of black or orange RTV - wire brush or wire wheel on a power drill - couple cans of cleaner - $10-15 in-bottle oil pump if you like staying clean. - 1 hour of time and a clean/dry garage/carport |
