Thanks for the video! I will be doing the rear diif on my ’04 this weekend.
I have also made a mess of many kitchen cleaning products. Umm, yes, she
noticed. Very quickly.
WOW, amazing. Thanks a lot. I don’t know anything about vehicles. I too
have a dodge hemi, 2004..I now know how to change it. I will be watching
your videos to learn more about my truck. Thanks…
Great video thanks. I am just about to do mine and have never done it so
this will really help. Just an fyi that made sense to me. I read in a forum
that one guy suggested jacking each wheel up one after the other while the
case is off in order to drain old fluid out of the axle and then once
complete taking a test drive in a parking lot doing figure eights to work
the fluid back up the axle then rechecking the fluid level. I am a
carpenter not a mechanic so I dont know if this is even required but it
makes sense so Ill try it. Thanks again.
So. You only put 2 quarts and 8oz. Of additive. And that was it. That fill
up the gear box? I have 04 dodge ram 5.7 1500 posi trac. And I want to
change the fluid it. Thanks.
Jimmy, liked the video. Glad you included the torque settings. I would
suggest a bead around the bolt area and not directly through it. Also, I’d
use a plastic scrapper in order to ensure that you down scratch the smooth
seal area.
I have a 2004 – 2500 w/Hemi and did mine the first time in about 4 hours.
It was a tough job but saved big $$$. Now you know for about $500 they’ll
do it, but if you consider parts cost and 4+ hours labor is about what they
are charging you but I’d bet a certified mechanic can do it in less then 2
hours. What a rip-off! Do it yourself if you have the tools, time,
patience and are able! I was recommended NGK plugs and they’re running
great by the way.
I’m not sure how the magnet was originally placed, but i wonder if the
stronger side may have been meant to be put laying down to keep it from
unsticking inside of your dif.
About to dive into this on my 2004. I am getting tired of paying for
services I know I can do myself with a little research and time. Thanks for
the help.
Good video. However, I just use a suction gun and draw the old fluid out
of the fill hole, instead of unbolting/removing the cover and messing with
scraping off the old gasket material. Might not get every drop of the old
fluid this way, but it is a heck-of-a-lot quicker & cleaner.

You’re so clever:)
