Been doing some maintenance on the old pickup truck the past week or so. Cleaned and painted my brake drums, flushed fresh antifreeze through the radiator, drained the differential and put in fresh fluid with a new gasket, as well as cleaning and painting the differential cover, drained the transmission and re-filled it with new gear lubricant, and getting ready to bleed fresh brake fluid through all the lines tomorrow. Since I do use it as a work truck, I try to keep it in good working order and take care of it. I figure if I take care of my truck, my truck will take care of me.



Differential fluid drained, cover cleaned and painted, fill plug painted (only on the outside, not the part that goes into the cover)


Brake drums after the first of two coats of paint.


Brake drums put back on, and wheel painted flat black to help prevent corrosion/rust from making the drums stick.


Differential looked good. No metal chunks, no broken teeth, etc.


And I made a video on how I re-fill the transmission with fresh fluid.
