Differential Fluid Change on a Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator Axle without Drain Bolts
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Changing the differential fluid on your Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator is something you should do as a part of routine maintenance and or any time you've been playing in water deep enough to submerge your entire axle. And, while drain bolts are no longer present on mid 2021 and up models, the process is still quick and easy to do and thanks to the reusable diff cover gaskets that are now included in their place. This video will show you how to save a lot of money by doing it yourself, in just minutes and with a few basic tools.

The reusable gasket is good
Yes it is and really, about time.
I love the how to video. Can you make a video if you favorite hard wheeling place other then the rubicon trail
As I always like to say, my favorite trail is the one I have yet to run. That said, you can see a bunch of trails that we've run here th-cam.com/play/PLgwBN5w3KUZzExKdoqFqVnUEv4hZdmo2j.html
Also got a lot of fun stuff here

Another good one man. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
Just got back from wheeling Uwharrie and saw a Wayolife sticker in the window at Eldorado Trading post…
Very cool 👍
Well crap, I drilled out a drain hole in my diff to drain it. I wished I thought of what you did. Dang it!
Awesome Outstanding job thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Thx...I think most people don't consider fluid changes in their drive train. They should.
I totally agree
And now we know. Thanks 👍 😊
LOL - glad we could share this with you 😊
Eddie - Great video. What routine maintenance do you recommend we perform, I.e., oil changes, diff fluid changes, etc? I have a 2022 JLU Rubicon which is pretty much stock (no suspension upgrades yet, still running KO2 33). Oh yeah, it’s a manual transmission.
Happy to hear you found our video to be useful! Here is a list of recommended maintenance that Jeep lists: www.wayalife.com/threads/jl-stock-tech-specs-index.44166/#post-860681
Thanks!
You bet! Glad we could share this with you 👍
Was that a stock gasket? I have looked for a LubeLocker and no luck. Great video Eddie #JeepWave
Yes, the reusable gasket comes from the factory now.
@@wayalife awesome! Thanks for the quick response! 🤘🙌👌
I should note that our first JLUR, a 2018 that we bought as soon as they came out did NOT have the reusable gasket. However, most JL's and JT's should have them.
@wayalife tracking, I've got a 2024 JLUR and this is on my list of garage maintenance I can complete at home. Good to know I can reuse the stock gasket! Thanks for the video and info! OlllllllO
Another excellent video, and timely in my case! I have a 2024 JL Rubicon with just over 10k miles on it now. I have wheeled it quite a bit this year and have done at least 1 water crossing...nothing too deep but I've seen mud marks on the pumpkin most of the way up. I was wondering the best time to do the 1st diff change. I'm pretty sure the manual trans fluid should be changed at 30k per the manual so I was thinking diffs at the same time, however with the amount of wheeling I've done and maybe there's some break-in material from factory, should I change the diffs at 15k and then again at 30k? I would love to hear your opinion on this. I haven't towed with it yet and I was also thinking to use valvoline 75w140 since that weight is what Dana recommends, not Jeep. I'm pretty sure the 75w85/90 that Jeep wants is for gas mileage. There are so many opinions out there on the forums. Also, did you put any oil on the gasket when re-installing for a good seal? And is the torque settings the same for the factory diff cover? Thank you for these very helpful videos!
I would never pretend to know as much or even more than what you can read on a forum but there is no need to service your differential from the factory until 40k miles according to Jeep. There is no break in period on factory gears. Based on what you have been stating, doing a service at 15k-20k wouldn't be a bad idea in my opinion. Yes, the toque value is the same for factory covers and this is because they use the same size bolts. Torque values are always based on bolt grade/size/thread pitch. And, no, I did not apply oil on the gasket before reinstall.
@@wayalife Thanks for your quick reply and very detailed information. I appreciate it. This puts my mind at ease not to rush it if I don't have to. I'm probably going to switch out my diff covers when I do the first gear oil change too. I'm eyeing up the ARB red ones to match my Jeep. I made the assumption that the 40k in the manual was for mainly normal driving with occasional heavy use and I'm of the mindset with oil is cheap engines/gearsets are not. I will probably change it 15-20k just to be safe. Good to know about no break-in period on factory gears. Thanks for your time!
Can you tell me what the length and spline count on passenger side gladiator sport s is, can't seem to find that info any where. thanks
In regards to what? Axle shafts maybe?
@@wayalife yes Sorry. Axle shafts
What resource do you use for torque specs?

Does my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon need gear oil for LSD?
Rubicons have lockers, not LSD
@@wayalife 감사합니다
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Please do the 8-speed transmission next 🙏 @@wayalife
@dawood2u The 8-speed automatic transmission is designed to be "serviceless" as in, it shouldn't need any servicing for the life of your Jeep. This is why it doesn't even come with a dip stick. That said, serviceless to me means at least 100k miles and I'm far from that.
@@wayalife Honestly I am so hesistant in believing what Jeep says. They might be planning to sell me another transmission down the road 😄
LOL - call me crazy but I'm gonna trust them.
