If you want to change your diff. fluid you just pull your cover. Get a book on it for a few bucks at any parts store and it will show you step by step. its really easy. Its just some bolts and a gasket and some sealent and your done. what rearend do you have and Do you have LSD?

lsd is a limited slip differential. Sometimes called positraction. It's gear lube that you need to refill the diff. 80w-90 I believe. I've always just filled diffs with lucas oil. It's really thick though so it's kinda a pita. One thing I've always done before taking a diff cover off is to check and make sure you can get the fill plug out. Otherwise you'll be fighting with a rig you can't drive for a while trying to get it off.

nobody can just tell you if you lave a lsd in your jeep. you will either have to test it yourself or contact http://www.jeep.com/wccsapp/universa...ull&category=U and sent them your vin and they will get back to you with what your jeep came equipped with.
