Differential fluid change
OK this is my first time doing this. I have the correct fluid and I hope the correct gasket. My question is: do I use permatex on the gasket or leave it clean?

I tried to use a pump to suck the old fluid out of the rear differential but I could not get the hose to go past the gear inside of the fill bolt. There was not enough room. It only took me an hour to get the rear differential and transfer case done. Most of that was spent removing the old sealant off of the differential and cover.
Didn't you want to inspect the gears? I have the cover open and am letting the fluid drain right now. I got the permatex gear gasket maker since it is made for differentials. This one has a metal ring under the bolts that does not show up in most of the youtube videos.
I had to get the hose out and wash down the underside of the truck before starting heh.
