True-Trac inspection

[krh2]

Been installed now for 18,356 miles. Changed the diff oil today and inspected all the bolts. All the bolts I could get my improvised wrench on were tight. Those I could not get a wrench on I checked them with a spark plug gap feeler.. This does not mean they are tight, just not backing out at this time. It is very easy to inspect the TT with the Mag-Hytec diff cover... I suggest buying a gasket even for an OEM diff cover..

Gasket.....

Drain... Oil was tea colored as opposed to honey colored when fresh.... I used a basket strainer and the strongest magnet you can get (I forget the name of them) on top of my catch basin. No metal at all! :)

Very little shavings (if any) on the plug and NONE on the dipstick! :)
