[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 1025186, member: 61743"] I have a Gen 2 also and have used Mobil 1 ATF, Redline D4, and most recently Valvoline Synpower Transfer Case Fluid in the t-case. I change every 30k. You do not have a LS rear. No Gen 2's have a LS, they have traction control instead. Rear diff takes 75w-140 synthetic, the front takes 75w-90 synthetic. The rear has a drain plug on the cover and is easy to change yourself if you get a transfer pump or suction gun to fill it and take the spare tire out. There is a hole in the frame in the spare tire well that you can snake the hose through to fill it. The front is basically impossible to do yourself because the front crossmember is very close to the diff cover and there is no drain plug (Gen 1's have the same problem) so I just take mine to the Valvoline Quicky Lube where they do it with an electric suction pump. I have tried draining mine with my suction gun and I can tell you that it won't work. The $50 that Valvoline charges is worth it when I consider the time it would take to do it myself and then the cover would probably leak anyway. I change the rear every 30k and the front every 50k. I have a Member Project posted here on how to change the t-case lube. [/QUOTE]
