    Got the secondary differential out. It was rough, that truck is nothing but junk. Completely rotted frame. Needed a map gas for nearly...

    There is definitely some ring gear wear. The coating removal id say is normal for 200k miles, but the outside edges are chewed up a bit...

    It's downstairs draining now. Lots of metallic sludge. No big chunks of iron. The fluid is definitely old. I can't remember if I have...
