Yup did mine the old fluid was aweful I added gearzol www.sfrcorp.com to mine runs like it should
I tried to locate the right gasket and failed went with the grey permatex rtv no leaks at all. Its way better then the rubbery silicon stuff Imo
The big thing with this job is to lift the frame as high as u can I used my rear stabilizer Jacks and of course some jack stands for added safety
If it's gold your good even slightly amber dark was what mine was from extreme heat that's why I added the gearzol for ep protection
I waited a couple hours for the rtv to cure and am very happy that it got done I would do it every 30k cause it's way cheaper then a new rearend is highly neglected on most all vehicles
