Differential Oil

[whitexc]

I would change the front at some point just to get some decent fluid in there along with a quick inspection.

You should not treat it any different than the rear, obviously you don't have the same load on the front as the rear if you tow(weight of motor?), but you can get moisture in the front diff. Its also not a bad idea just to inspect the internals once in awhile. I did my rear at 13K, I have 23k now and I had planned to change the front sooner but have been procrastinating -

I did the same. Changed the rear at 17k and the front at 20k. Severe Gear in the back and Delvac in the front.
I have less than 3 miles in 4x4 in 30,000 miles and that was just to see if it made any noise and would work.

Is the front gasket reusable as well?

I have used mine in 4 hi and 4 lo a couple of times pulling our TT out of the spot where we park it at home. There’s a hump right where the front wheels on the truck are up against it when I get hooked up.
