  1. You are the man. That dude is lucky he didn't catch the wrath of sweet thing when that truck went thru the back of the garage. I have some gravel next to my driveway wide enough for both tires. I'll goose it and see what happens. I have an email into AAM about the label thing. If they respond I'll post it. http://www.thehamtramckreview.com/american-axle-says-it-will-close-down-last-remaining-plant/#:~:text=Last week%2C American Axle officials,reason work is stopping here. Thanks again
  2. That's great info, thanks. What prompted the investigation was just curiosity. This is my third Cummins, 98.5 24V and then a different 05 2500. I sold the 2500 to buy this 3500 because a newer 5th wheel had a huge pin weight and the 2500 was over in 3 specs as a result. I like to know what's what so I chocked the front tires and jacked it up by the pumpkin. Oddly when spinning the left rear tire counter clockwise the right tire didn't move. Spinning the left tire clockwise caused the right tire to spin the opposite direction like an open rear would. I did the finger test on the diff level and it was clear as in brand new clear. I also found out that the block heater cord wasn't ordered when new and that the spare tire hoist worked but the tire was the original. Oh boy another $150. The truck was a one owner trade in at an honest dealer chain near me so they probably did the diff fluid change as they also changed the oil and replaced the air cleaner element among other things. Trans fluid is very clean as well. Maybe the dealer will give up the original owners name and I can find out if the diff was ever replaced. I'll pull the cover anyway in the meantime. Thanks a lot for your time, appreciate you.
