    Default Changing Fluids

    With the large quantities of gear oil in our beasts, has anyone come up with a good way to get the new stuff in? Drill powered pump?

    6-1/2 pints for the rear axle is more than I want to do with the little hand pump on the bottle method. Just getting lazy

    Buy your gear oil in a 5 gallon jug. Get one of the hand pumps that fit on those jugs and go for it.

    Here are a few:

    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    Get a pan of water to about 150-200 degrees on the stove, remove it from the heat and put the gear oil jugs in it...flows like water.

    I bought a long piece of heater hose years ago...outside is just small enough to fit in the tcase fill hole, which fits the axles and trans as well, inside is just smaller than where I cut off one of those cut off to the size you want tips on the oil jugs and is long enough for me to sit on a stool on the drivers side with the hose halfway up the door.

    Take the pan out to the truck, pop a bottle and screw on a precut cap...insert in hose and let it roll.

    I think I'd have to just move South a few degrees of lattitude.....
