Thank you for the video. I have a 2007 Ram 3500 that needs this service. The only thing I would suggest is listing the torque for the cover bolts and the drain plug. Like and subscribed.
For those who have the AAM (Torsion Worm Gear Design Anti-Slip Gear Set) avoid gear oil with the limited slip Additive added to it - the Torsion Design Gear Set does Not Require the additive & will effect the performance of the unit in certain situations when you need it the most. The Traction Control will play havoc on the unit as well - turn the TC off when you really need 4WD.
Do you know how I can visually tell if I have the Torsion Worm Gear Design Anti-Slip Gear Set or not? Is there any other form of limited slip diff in the '17s?
Very good explanatory video. I am wondering if it is possible to suck the differential fluid out with one of those drill driven siphons and then just pour new fluid in.?
Yes you can, only draw back is you can’t examine for metal shavings but that shouldn’t normally be an issue. I plan on doing my front diff with a pump since the steering linkage makes it a pain to remove the cover.
Great video. Liked how detailed you were in cleaning out rear diff before re installing. Super jealous of your garage space, you are doing it right bud.
I couldnt find amsoil anywhere so i used lucas gear oil 75 90w when i puty banks rear diff cover on . I took factory bolts some gorilla had tightened in but at 8800 miles was surprised a little on wear or break in in oil it needed changing
Hello, I have a question how would I order hearts from Amazon like brake pads and diesel filters? Do you know I have a 3500 Dooley 2020 he can let me know. Thank you.
Good job TDD.....use the clothes your wife gives you then throw them away. Get her a Kohl's card and get her shopping!! the people of Bangladesh among others survive from all of our shopping.
@@oldsalt8011 you use, make a gasket silicone, ive never had to use a factory gasket, just use the silicone to make a new one. Done it for the last 20 years never had any leaks.
Last time I did this, I thought it would be easier to just suck the oil out with a fluid extractor. Or just the Banks performance diff cover for the ease of future changes.
I will do a front diff change and use a extractor. The steering linkage runs in front of the diff cover. Looks like a pain in the rear to take the cover off.

Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. And I agree on the feeling when you use the daughter’s old clothes. Time flies lol
Thanks!
I didn't get to see you put a gasket on the diff. Did you put one on? Great video.
Thank you, I did use a gasket.
Great video and well detailed I like that...
Thank you

The camera has everything backwards. labels and bolt turn direction. No biggie though. good video.
Yeah, not sure there's anything I can do to fix that.
@@tacticaldieseldad5695 yea, no biggie, great video. Keep them coming.
I imagine you’re using front facing camera on phone. Turn the phone around and use the back camera. Should help. Great video by the way!

new gasket is a must.
The factory gasket is reuseable.
Why ?
@@Dog.soldier1950 why not? I think that one that has been in compression for sometime will not seal as well as a fresh one.
@@oldsalt8011 you use, make a gasket silicone, ive never had to use a factory gasket, just use the silicone to make a new one. Done it for the last 20 years never had any leaks.
It’s a reusable gasket. If it makes one feel better to purchase a new one on every change.
What's the socket size needed for these bolts? I don't want to get a full set, just the right one to drain and refill.

Using a torque wrench to break torque on a bolt or a long handled rachet wrench? Never use a torque wrench to break torque.
I think I used the 3/8 impact. Bolts backed out pretty easy. I agree with you, probably easier to break a bolt that way.
Do you have to use the limited slip additive with it?
From my understanding reading Aimsoils data, no. Its ready to use and dont need to add anything to it.
@@tacticaldieseldad5695 thanks you!
How often you change the oil with amsoil ?
Just on the factory schedule.
And that torque spec again was ?
12 lbs
When re using remember to add sealer or it will leake 100%
Gasket is reusable and never had a leak problem. Others as well. Negative on sealant.
video would be better if it wasn't backward or reversed?
