2007 4x4 Differential Servicing
I am trying to change fluids on the differentials and I am having trouble locating replacement gaskets for the differential covers. The reason I am removing the covers is that I swamped the axels and the fluid is now tan in color.
My rear axel is a 11.5 inch and I don't know how to tell what the front axel is.

Strea, that is exactly what I changed my axles out with just this past weekend. Mobil 1 75w-90 LS. 16,500 miles on truck factory fill in front and back looked the same, slightly dark gray in color.

Mobil 1 75w90 LS is fine. As long as it is GL-5 rated, any synthetic 75w90 brand gear oil is fine.
I have been running that fluid for 121,000 miles no problem since I first changed out my factory fill at 15K. 136K now on the truck. I change it every 20K miles or so now and it looks like new.

re-use gaskets. make sure to clean around gasket/mating surface real good before pulling the cover unless you want to clean sand out of the gears. don't ask how i know this. and look for a fill line on the cover some people fill em to the bottom of fill hole but there is a fill line on some covers...
