[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 784751, member: 56140"] Torx? IIRC, 3/8" rachet fits. The plug has a square plug it it. Just right for a 3/8" rachet to work. The tranny calls for Mercon V, the transfer case calles for Mercon. There is a difference between the two. Use the right fluid in the right item. The front differential, you need to suck the fluid out. The rear you pull the cover. If you have a standard open differential, you use 80W90 oil both front and rear. If you have a Limited slip rear differential, you use 75W140 fluid WITH some Friction modifier. he front still uses the 80W90 fluid. As for fluid amounts, the best bet is to read your manual. It has all sorts of information like that in there. Don't have one?? Download one for free at the link below. Tom [/QUOTE]
