So while rebuilding the shocks is no big deal I was wondering if I have to tear apart this whole truck to get to the differentials? It sure looks like I do. Anyone with any tips that may prevent me from rebuilding everything?
I have only retaken apart the front diff to change fluid. I must admit it looked a lot worse than it was. The whole procedure took about an hour, and I bet I could do it way faster next time. You have to take clicker off, remove front bumper, front shock tower, and the gearbox screws along with other screws. The steering is unaffected. As for the rear, I have yet to do this, but doesn't look so bad....
