Changing fluids?? Trans and Diff.....
This looks very straight forward but I have learned too many pearls of wisdom on this forum not to ask!!!!
Any words of wisdom on changing Trans and Diff fluid besides pull the drain plug and drain trans, replace plug and fill to brim through upper plug.
Repeat with differential.
Thanks,
Randy

Trans fills from the side, not top. Same with differential. Make sure you use the GM Additive with your diff oil - or get Royal Purple pre-mixed.

Just make sure you remove the fill plug BEFORE you remove the drain plug. Don't wanna get stuck with drained fluid and a seized fill plug. Also, make sure you have a good hand pump for the fluids...there's no way of a pouring out of the bottle.
I just did mine today for the first time. It's really really easy.
