I'd be willing to lend a hand, but it looks like you are 3 hours away.

I would give you a hand as well but my weekend is pretty booked, my son has baseball games Friday night & Saturday and my daughter has soccer games Saturday & Sunday.
Good luck guys!!

I might have to wait to see when I will have the money to buy everything. But all I need to do the repair in the front is the pinion seal, right? Any ideas on how much gear oil to buy for that and how much to buy for the diff?

Yes, pinion seal.
I don't know, but if you buy 2 quarts , it should do it.
They have different weights. The counter guy may be able to tell you what is recommended.

I would probally be able to help. I don't have any experience with this but I could be a tool runner or whatever. Let me know when you plan on doing this.

Ok, so two quarts for front and two for the back? I plan on buying the parts next month, and getting new struts, transmission filter, and then the diff and front axel.

at least 2 for the back, I think mine was more like 2.5 qts. Call a parts store and they should be able to tell you. I've looked in my owners manual and can't find those capacities.

I guess I will try that. I plan on buying the parts next month, before the snow gets here so I dont have to worry about my four wheel drive. what i plan on buying is... struts, diff gasket, front pinion seal, already did front wheel assembly and rotors, transmission pan gasket and filter, and for those of you at brat fest....... A NEW BATTERY, i think i have worn out the factory one. lol. i also just bought some diodes and did full time drls, auto fog, all 4 on high. i am going to get the parts to do the wig wags later tonight online, got to wait for direct deposit of paycheck, got to love that. anyway, i got some tools, probably all i would need, "maybe", got buckets for all the fluid, and ramps, jacks, stands, and a/c with impact if needed, i dont tend to use it too much, unless rotating tires or need it to break something loss.
