Hey chris, you change your rear diff oil yet? I did mine last week. What a difference!!!! No more vibration when I take off. When I drained the old oil out, it was nasty. the drain plug is magnetic and it was totally coated with gunk. Mine only has 20k on it. I hope that is just from "break in" normal wear. I guess we'll see.

XVG-QT is the part number you want, quantity of 2 It is their new Severe Gear Synthetic 75w-90 Gear Lube. That is it. Little over $20 with shipping. A must do!!! Make sure you inspect your drain plug. it is magnetic and I will bet it is covered with junk!!! |

So you did use the amsoil, eh? If you had good luck with amsoil (as opposed to royal purple) then I will take your word on it. Hey, i cant find the part number you mentioned on the website. I couldnt find "XVG" but i did find "SVG" is this the same thing?
SEVERE GEAR™ Synthetic Extreme Pressure (EP) 75W-90 Lubricant Thats what it says is SVG and when I pulled the "application chart" on their website, this is what it recommended. I just want to make sure Im getting the same stuff you did. Check out the link and let me know if its the same stuff. http://amsoil2.cpinternet.com/script...msoiloaf:index |

Re: GM Tech, Heard of this???
Make sure you have some kind of bottle with a hose on it or squirter or something to get it up in the hole. Get under there you will see what i mean. I had an old bottle of gear lube that I keep for doing this.

Re: GM Tech, Heard of this???
Cant seem to find a $*!# dealer in Michigan on the internet. The amsoil site is about as useless as tits on a bull when it comes to finding a dealer. I called my local parts stores, none of them carry the gear lube I need... getting irritated!

Re: GM Tech, Heard of this???
Order it direct from Amsoil.
http://www.amsoil.com/orderform.htm Scroll down and use the 1 800 number. then use the part number I gave you. |

Re: GM Tech, Heard of this???
Ah ah. My local amsoil independent dealer is meeting me at my work tomorrow at 3pm to sell me 3 quarts of the SVG-QT Extreme pressure synthetic 75-90 gear lube. The reason Im getting three, Im going to change my front axle too, might as well. I got it for $7.30 a quart from this guy and hes delivering it!! woo hoo. I will let you know what mine looks like coming out, I predict its going to be prettttyyyy ugly cos my binding in the rear end when taking off from a stop is getting more and more frequent and longer. I bet that fluid is toasted!!! By the way, the dealer told me there is no such thing as "XVG" he said there is only "SVG". Is that what you meant to type? I just want to make sure we are on the same page here. I bought 3 quarts of XVG-QT 75w-90 severe gear, extreme pressure gear lube with anti-slip additive in it.

Re: GM Tech, Heard of this???
Well seeing that I was supposed to go out tonite (night before thanksgiving bar night) but since we are getting blasted here in michigan with snow, I changed the fluid and HOLY $*@( !!!! I cant believe the stuff that came out looked like dark brown paint and my magnetic plug was caked with fine metal particles. Took me a good few minutes to clean it off!!! I filled it back up, took the whole 2 quarts (all but about 3oz) it started to come back out the filler plug. Took it for a test drive to the parts store to get a new serpentine belt, didnt bind once! Actually was very smooth, I tested it out a few times in the snowy parking lot and it seems to be perfect now. Then I came home and replaced my belt - it was easy and only took me a whole 3 minutes, ok ok to be fair 2 1/2 minutes

Re: GM Tech, Heard of this???
Man, that was a good one with the pwr steer fluid. You sure you didn't go to bar night first, then did that? HA! That is cool you got the fluid all changed. Hopefully the amsoil will handle the loads a little better. On your front transfer case, I don't know. I only have 2wd. But the goopy area you talking about, Mine was pretty clean. I have seen many though that did "weap" a little. No biggie.
Enjoy!!! |

I just want to caution you all, gm uses a small pin to secure the pin that holds the spider gears in place, this bumping in the turns could be that pin loose in the pumpkin. if it is there will be a lot of big chuncks of metal in the oil. now this happened to me so pay attention, the pin finally breaks and slides out. now on gm's the pin holds the axels out against the side gears, which encloses a clip. if the pin is out the axels slide in in a curve and allows the clip to fall out. now the axle is no longer retained and it comes all the way out and passes you while your on the freeway. now you panic and hit the brakes, well i supose the calipers will hold in the axles but in 68 there wasn't any calipers to stop it. but in my case there were no brakes cause all the fluid went out with one squish of the peddle!
look for chuncks and clips |

Re: GM Tech, Heard of this???
I have an '03 with a locking rear diff. It does exactly what you're describing.
