02 Dak QC Diff oil change - 5/9/2008 9:55:23 AM    wildcat27   Posts: 6 Joined: 4/20/2008 Status: offline I need to change the differential oil on both front and rear pumpkins on my dakota.  I glanced underneath the truck and did not see a drain plug.  Do I have to remove the pumpkin cover to drain the oil?  Also what weight oil should I use.  Thanks for the help!

I like to use thicker weight lube, i always use 85-140. May just be me but i like it thick. _____________________________ 1995 Dakota SLT 4x4 5.2 318ci Flowmaster 40 Series Couple Bells and Whistles (in reply to wildcat27) Post #: 2

In my opinion, synthetic is the way to go. Try AmsOil, if you haven't already.
