I have about 7k to go before I hit 30k.
I have a 2wd XE KC w/o BT and the orig rear diff (which looks to be in mint condition... no warning signs of any kind there there's problems brewing).
I've added all the tow equipment (oem hitch, brake controller, tranny temp gauge).
I purchased the '05 finned rear diff cover but am wondering now if I shouldn't just wait until I hit 30k to change out the fluid.
I have a camper trailer that weighs in around 4grand that I may be towing a couple times between now and when I hit 30k on the odometer. The trips wouldn't be any crazy long distances (couple hundred miles round trip for each of the trips) but I do have to go over a couple of mountain passes between here any my destinations. Nothing crazy... all highway travel, but there will be some climbing involved.
Am I okay to wait until 30k so I can just do the read diff then with everything else, or should I really do it now? And if I should really do it now, does that mean I can wait until 60K to change it out again? I'd like to keep on the normal schedule if at all possible... but definitely don't wanna trash my rear diff.
Thanks for the input gents!
