Front differential issues, do your maintenance!!!!

Hey fellas i wanted to give everyone a heads up, i start seeing more and more front diff issues, please keep fluid fresh and I always recommend magnetic drain plugs in all the diffs, engine, and transfer case ! Just a friendly reminder, id rather you spend your money on the brake kits and driveshaft upgrades than diff replacement!!!! 😁😀

I recommend motul 75w90 in front rear diffs with gl5 spec. If you have active m diff then you also have side chambers that require special fluid (castrol or acdelco 75w140)
