I spent the better part of the day under the rear of the Monaco, cleaning the Dana 70.

Tomorrow I go to Advance Auto and get the Fel-Pro Dana 70 gasket, lots of Brake Kleen, and fresh, synthetic diff fluid. Because the 50 gallon fuel tank darn-near prevents access to the cover, I don't plan on seeing the inside of the Dana again, so synthetic should last, until I decide to sell the rig.
Providing the gears and bearings inside were in good shape, yeah, you should never have to worry about that differential again in your lifetime. I'll bet it looks a whole lot better now too. Congrats. :)
Gears and bearings look to be in good condition, and there was no noise from the rear end, when it was driven to the house two years ago. The only thing I can say that will need to be addressed is the pinion seal being replaced at some point in the future.
