Hi all,

I am planning on performing a drain and fill on the transfer case and rear differential fluid this summer. I've found a wealth of information on the this forum. Thank you all for that!

I have found a tiny inconsistency on the torque specs for the drain and fill plugs on both transfer case and rear differential. Some say both are 29 lb-ft, other sources show that the drain plug is 29 lb-ft and the fill plug is 28 lb-ft.

I don't have a copy of the factory service manual so could someone please confirm the torque specs for the drain and fill plugs on both transfer case and rear differential. I realize the difference in values is small so it probably wouldn't matter. Please forgive me.
