  • Nice vidio it realy helpd

  • @mfnmike1 Glad it helped

  • Good video man! I did this in my Auto's class, everybody was pissed off about the smell. It was nice doing it there, we had a part cleaner. I used Ultra Grey on mine, with a gasket.

  • @GrandCaravanSE Thanks a lot man, glad this vid helped. :)

  • hey jlsparky my right rear wheel on my 95 explorer xlt 4.0 has more power then the left wheel and does not redirect power when slipping any ideas?

  • @ballzbroz It could be a LSD (limited slip differential) which operates like an open differential only it transfers the power to the wheel with more resistance. This type of differential is also known as a "posi" differential. It uses clutch plates to catch the wheel thats slipping so it can send power to the wheel that isnt slipping. If those clutch plates wear out then the differential will act as a open diff.

  • what oil do i use i have a 97 explorer

  • What motor is in your ranger?

  • Does the truck have to be 4x4 for you to change the fluid? because i have a 92 f150 and its never been changed its 2wd an i was wondering if thats something i could do on my own?

  • @ballzbroz Look on the side of the drivers door and there will be a bunch of codes. Look up the axle code and it will tell you what kind of differential you have. If it is an open differential then that means the power will find the path of least resistance (usually the passenger rear). Open differentials are my least favorite type but they give the best gas mileage and require the least maintenance.
