[QUOTE="christopher shears, post: 1045759, member: 71743"] Rear ends are pretty durable….like a manual transmission. Just big gears in oil..R/R oil at least every 100k if your a cheapskate..60k if you care…30k if it’s your baby…I use Walmart syn 75/140.. because I’m cheap and I change it every 50k ..all my 5 s/t 1 s have 250k. Only one destroyed when ran out of oil while son was working in ft lauderdale Yea…he heard it …. Here’s why… The breather vent tube is a cheap rubber hose that comes off the rear end…it turns 90 degrees to vent high up over the rear end…over time that rubber tube cracks and splits at the 90 degree turn and very slowly dribbles out the rear end fluid…not fast. Over a couple years. If you don’t check it or change… Crash boom bang waisted rear end.. It will whine for attention for 6 months Screeming hey I’m out of oil.. CHECK THAT HOSE. !!!!! [/QUOTE]
