during Harvey Water came up to the top of the bumpers for 4 days. Since August Of last year the truck has been driven about 50 miles. I started hearing
like metal to metal breaking. Pulled brake caliper off and the whole rotor slid right out LMMFAO. So after a complete rebuild including new rotor spindles I need to put new gear oil in. How much oil for front and how much for rear? I dont think i need to fill to top of drain plug, or do I?

What they said for filling.

Also, my experience with that 14 bolt semi-floater is it needs synthetic. YMMV, but mine spun bearings and chewed up the spider gears on dino oil. I put synthetic in it after the rebuild and have had zero issues in more miles than the original..

Also I’m not positive, but it seems like your tie rod linkage is all wonky. It looks like it’s been bent.

Anybody else see that?
