I would never use an extraction machine on anything I own! and would run as far as i could from any shop that uses them if i needed emergency service on the road.
Especially on a rearend. Mine happened to be in severe service range probably cause its always overlooked. The sludge will never be wiped out and any metal filings which rarely ever make it to the fill plug magnet would stay in there indefinitely! Just recirculating over and over until catastrophic failure.
Its also a good time to inspect the ring an pinion for uneven wear and or pitted bearings that can cause major issues over time. Rv's are more susceptible to pitting cause of the sitting time.
extraction machines, Flush machines and tourque sticks DO NOT BELONG in any shop and should be banned. I can't even fathom how much damage these things have caused people over the years.
Great for the shady lube places and shops that use them they make money on the service and even more when it trashes the drivetrain they are servicing.
Sorry they sound good and promise to make quick time of the task at hand, but nothing replaces quality work and proper inspection.
