Recommend ensuring you can remove fill plug before draining.
Got it. Thanks!
I had to replace my diff because it was so rusted up the fill plug totally seized. Good Ole replacement runs better six hours of labor and diff amazing learning experience.
Great video I just changed my 2011 Silverados fluid today. Your video was very helpful
Great video!
Not crazy about the music but otherwise fine job.
Thank you very informative 👍
Bro I came here watching the video expecting some crazy ass change out but this is easier than an oil change out and faster
Once again , a great step by step How To explanation ! Thanks !
Thanks for the video. I like the music on its own but it is way too loud while you are talking.
After looking at the time it took you to clean and prepare the cover I'm thinking I'll just buy the $48 kit that completely replaces the cover, gasket, and bolts with new. Mine is rusty anyway and I'm not sure I want to mess with the old one.
The 09 Avalanche calls for 75W-90 gear oil for the rear differential and 80W-90 for the front according to the owner's manual.
I’m getting ready to do the rear differential on my 08 Suburban is there a major difference between using 80w-90 gear oil or 75w-90 axle lubricant
You should generally always go with the manufacturer's recommended specifications. However depending on your driving style and environment, one or the other may be better suited for your unique needs. Could you get away with either of the two? Granted that that is all you have, probably, as it shouldn't be too big of an issue. Before the vehicle gets up to a hotter temperature , one oil would be lighter, and the other would heavier, in terms of viscosity.
thought the manual said like 3/4 inch below the fill plug ?
Exactly how many quarts did yours take?
Bro epic music in this vid!! Love to know who spins both tracks. Def following, great info on how to!
Thanks! I appreciate your support! And, all track names and artists are listed in the video description.
how much is the specific torque for the screws of the back cover diffential silverado 5.3 2012
Recommended is 30 lb
Great video but you need to tone down the music it drowns your voice
Synthetic oil reccomend..it what was in it from factory..80w90 for front diff,75w-90 synthetic for rear...just passing it on
Does it need limited slip modifier? I know synthetic fluid already has it rite?
Only if its a posi...if its a open gear rear end( g80 build code) then no...if its a limited slip style i and u put in synthetic fluid still add additive
@@j.cooper2246 I have a 2007 suburban Ltz 4wd
Lol..why tell me this..open glove box.there is a code sticker on it..look and see if there is a g80.if no then u have a limited slipr..u should know if u had cover off..the two are night and day different
@@j.cooper2246 thank you mr car Manual expert
A snap-on TQ wrench to tighten a diff fill plug, now I've seen it all. I German TQ spec all those bolts, gutentight.
Jeff Smith Not everyone knows what 30-35 ft. lbs. feels like. Beginners especially. We don't want anyone in the audience under-tightening nor stripping out any hardware, do we?
I have an 07 Silverado 6.0 . The rear diff cover plate has 14 bolts and the diff itself has a drain plug making removing the cover unnecessary to change fluid.
Cut corners if you want, but this video (minus the use of silicone which is completely unnecessary) is the proper way to change the fluid.
@@christianbass7244 so how do you clean the magnets inside and yes there is two magnets one on the cover and the other on where? Mr tech lmao
@@getminesallday24the plug is magnetic, do not use rtv to seal it buy a new gasket
Some do not have the drain plug in the bottom, in that case you need to pull the cover. Mine has a drain plug so I don’t pull the cover but eventually the covers rust out - at that point I get a genuine GM cover as it comes with a new gasket, bolts, and bracket for the brakeline
Turn music off, can’t hear anything
Judd Mundy So you don’t like the music, or it’s just too loud? Are you listening with headphones or speakers? If it really is too loud, I will take that into account and adjust for future projects.
GM requires gear additive?

Love the Music...
👍🏼
You definitely, “Finished him!”
Not a bad video. However I can see that you love you some techno music. However if you're going to narrateplease turn the music down so that those watching your videos can hear what you say. Have a good day
chris burton Noted! Thanks for the feedback. I am lowering volume a bit on future projects.
I don’t recommend sealant on the diff side. The sealant on the diff cover is plenty. It’s a pain in the ass next time you drain to clean that stuff from the diff side. Less debris to get into the diff next service interval.
It would’ve been funny if that fill plug would be stuck
Try turned UP MUSIC!
Good video but it bugged me how you called the bolts screws and I would never use 12 point sockets on this type of job
Why?
@@andycaldwell4828 12 point sockets are useless and strips the bolts most of the time
@@campman8670 Maybe, but I was using it on a machine threaded screw. And it worked just fine. Also, I know the manufacturers vary on their terminology, however by engineering definition, a bolt has an external nut associated with it, while a screw is fastened into internal threads within the material that is being fastened. So by that definition, I am not wrong in calling your "bolts" screws. fastenerengineering.com/what-is-a-bolt/
With that music you're going to have to talk like vin diesel and move that camera around so it fits the scene.
Ah dude, painting that diff cover without at least wire brushing off those rust flakes gave me anxiety. I almost started clawing at my monitor.
If you don't like it, then no one is forcing you to do it. I just took this today. After a harsh winter, it still looks better than it did. facebook.com/photo?fbid=1435393946644101&set=a.169748503208658
@@andycaldwell4828 Yeah but the point is, youll be painting it again in 6-12 months. Also, you took the time to soak in acetone but not scrape it off or wire brush it off?
@@brianpeters867 Did that. Its just not shown on camera.
Bolts, not screws!
I turned it off at about 8:00 Couldn't take the stupid teenage soundtrack. Why, oh, why, must guys put this crap into what otherwise might be useful how to? To entertain us?
I'm sorry you didn't like it. Teenagers have cars too though, ya know.
@@andycaldwell4828
True point. On a substantive issue, I would strongly advise against spraying solvent into any differential case. If someone watching this does, then be darn sure its evaporated, and there's not a pool in the bottom of the pumpkin before reinstalling. The residual will mix with and ruin your new gear oil -- and gears eventually.
Oh, well, there is no "pumpkin" contour. Fluid runs right out byway of gravity. And contact cleaner generally takes all but 5 seconds to evap.
BOLTS, not screws.
Lol thats what I said.
Machine thread screws, or machine screws. Sorry, I'm was a machinist by trade, not a mechanic. Bolts usually have a separate removable nut associated with them, and also bolts are generally tightened byway of that removable female nut - not by the male bolt. Anyway, if you ever have to order any "bolts," like the ones here in this video, they are usually listed as machine screws. www.hunker.com/13415397/what-is-a-machine-screw
@@andycaldwell4828 in the mechanic world 99.99% we call them bolts.
If you ever have to buy the exact "bolts", like the ones in this video, they come in the differential cover kit, part number 19333218. The kit comes with 10 bolts, and 0 screws, as described by the manuafactuer.
Alex Salgado I would disagree with that. I hear things referred to with all types of terminology. Do you know what a synonym is?
I can’t hear you because that gay “music” is too loud.
ALWAYS REMOVE FILL PLUG FIRST🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Got it. Thanks!
No.. Just no.
Painting flaky rust...👎
Don't put silicone on any housings mating surface. Only ever on the covers mating surface. 30ft-lbs is plenty of strength to prevent a leak on a gasket. Sport bike cylinder heads are torqued to 35ft-lbs and they can resistant head lift at 13k rpms. Silicone is completely unnecessary.
