The dimple plug is very very strong, was really hard to get into the hole (insert thats what she said joke). The magnet kept sticking the body of the diff and took a little time to plug it the drain hole and screw in..

I end up using redline gear oil. The dimple plug was pretty expensive.. around 30.

As you guys can see my bottom is pretty rusted.. salt of north east can do that... Not driving it through snow or salt this year Should I sand that off and spray anti rust on that ?







Thank you for the pictures and all the good information. Mike
