    Differential vs. Transmission Speed Sensors

    Yes. Not "shavings" but "specks"/"particles" were what I saw on the speed sensor. I drove to a somewhat nearby AutoZone that had the Duralast SU3331 in stock. Drove back and installed it, but the speedometer was erratic. Exchanged it at another AutoZone and everything has been fine since. I...

    75W-140 Synthetic In The Rear Differential All The Time

    I have a 2003 KJ Limited with 84,000 miles. One of the rear wheel bearings needs replaced so a mechanic will be taking the rear apart to fix that. I am wondering about this in the owner's manual: I want to be able to do some towing as needed without worrying about draining the rear axle of...
