Excellent video, sir. Thank you very much. Simple like the rear diff when
housing is not removed. Good method of draining the remaining old fluid.

HEY SHOOTER GREAT VIDEO is this the same way to do the 2000 GMC sierra.
4×4 thanks.

Great video. It’s about time we get some excellent videos and instructions.
Thanks for taking the time and sharing with us guy..

Craig Smith says:

Good job. One thing to remember on a lot of Chevy’s of this era is that the
rear diff will take synthetic and the front will take standard lube (non
synthetic). I have a 2002 Chevy Avalanche.

Great video. It’s about time we get some detailed and well explained
directions. Thx for taking the time guy..

No, only 4x4s have both front and rear differentials

This is how vids should be produced….a voice over instead of a mic on the
camera, a steady camera, fast forwarding the mundane, and no music.

I did. I would be sure to use impact sockets also and wear safety glasses.

thepaintingrooster says:

thanks !!!!!

lfjbwfs says:

The bolts on my skid plate are rusted and wont budge by hand. Can I use an
impact wrench to loosen these?

Skip Carlson says:

Excellent video and very insightful. Your step-by-step instructions are
awesome!

infringinator says:

I let you down man I ended up paying some mechanic $90 to change all 3
fluids

infringinator says:

did you jack up the truck or work under it?

Khalid Alhadidi says:

Thank’s bro

waylandsmth says:

yeah i agree your vid is actually really helpful. not alot of people flush
out the old fluids so cu dose to showing that. i changed the transfer case
fluid in my silverado the other day. wow. it sucked. but i think your video
will make the front dif go a lot faster.

lfjbwfs says:

Thanks for the tip and the great video. I ended up soaking the bolts in PB
Blaster and I was able to get them out by hand. Now I’m trying to do my
coolant…having trouble there too haha.

rcastanaga says:

Good video thanks for the help.

Chris stege says:

Best instructional video I’ve seen in a long time. Very helpful!! =)

lambertsland says:

Thanks so much for sharing this information. Especially liked the details
about the magnet, bolt sequence, and how to use the squeeze containers.

infringinator says:

@shooter250 I bought my fluids separately they ran about $80 including new
gasket for rear. I couldve done it myself but I dont have a lift for my
truck!

PacificCityFishing says:

Great thanks for showing

mrvelfm says:

Excellent video. Thanks!

jasonsupafly says:

Good video,brother! Thanks!

Errin Petty says:

only 4×4 or all wheel drives!

MrStevewilkos says:

@shooter250 do all cars have a front and rear differental fluid. thanks

TheBobboc6 says:

Very good video. Not choppy at all and good voice over after the fact to
make sure instructions were clear. This will save me some time for sure.
Thanks

shooter250 says:

@infringinator If the mechanic used all synthetic fluids it may not be a
terrible deal, but now next time you can have the sense of accomplishment
when your done.
