Replace Rear Differential Fluid on Silverado or Sierra
Regular differential maintenance is crucial to ensure smooth performance, prevent costly repairs, and extend the life of your truck's drivetrain.
I’ll show you how I drain the old fluid, clean the differential and differential housing cover, and refill it with the proper lubricant (75W-90 synthetic gear oil). This process applies to most Silverado and Sierra 1500 models, but be sure to check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more DIY automotive maintenance tips and tool review videos.

    I’m trying to learn how to do things myself, and this video was good, but I accidentally broke the o2 sensor that holds it together, and idk if that’s my problem to my new problem, I can’t put it in park nor take out my key for some reason, that problem happened right after I replace the o2 sensor for the upstream rich to bank 1 to sensor 1

    • @lmsdiy
      @lmsdiy 12 днів тому

      Hey, well good on you for wanting to do things yourself! My opinion is that the “can’t put it in park nor take out my key” issue is unrelated to an O2 sensor. The only things I can think of are: 1. you may have accidentally messed with either the shift cable which runs along the other side of the frame where you were working on bank 1 sensor 1 or the shifter connected to the transmission housing which is that side of the transmission though not exactly where the O2 sensor is, or 2. The shifter (whether shifter cable, connector at the transmission, or shifter connected to your steering column) happens to be an issue independent of the work you did on the O2 sensor. If you can’t put it in park you won’t be able to take the key out, so that is related. Can you put it in neutral and take the key out? I had a similar issue with my previous Silverado. It didn’t perfectly go into park all the time which caused things like not being able to take the key out, not being able to start the vehicle, and doors didn’t automatically unlock when I thought it was in park. Try pushing it from drive or whatever into park more quickly and purposefully and see if that triggers it to allow you to take out the key.

    I could do with some more lumens, but I especially love this light for two particular features: 1. Unlike most flashlights on the market, it doesn't obnoxiously cycle through thirty-seven useless modes and colors and patterns. It has two modes: on and off. 2. The tailswitch has a momentary action that behaves the same way no matter how long or short you press it, or how many times. You can signal Morse code with this thing.

    You can try running pure diesel in the crankcase for about 30 minutes to an hour of idling for a flush. You can run a bit of seafoam or ATF mixed in with your oil for continuous cleanup while driving. Another flush you can do is run pure ATF for 30 minutes to an hour of idling on a warm engine. Your noise is most likely a sticking lifter and a stronger flush is more likely to resolve it without opening the engine and replacing the lifter.

    Is it normal to have some up and down play by the screw once tightened? I'm not sure if the pcv valve replaced was OEM. but it has a little wiggle.

      Mine doesn’t wiggle at all. Don’t overtighten because it’s just plastic, but it shouldn’t really move around much…if it wiggles a bit but still stays in you’re probably OK.

      @@lmsdiy I cut a piece of flex tubing and used it as a washer on the bolt. Guess I'll try ordering an OEM one see if there is a difference. At least it is snug now.
