I'm starting out with 2 new gear this year.
Both are race only.
8 3/4 4.30 US Gear with spool in 742 case
Dana 60 4.56 Richmond Pro gears
I've never replaced the lube in the past but I've seen some posts that suggest that I should.
Do you think it's necessary?
If so, could I just suck out some out of the bottom and just replace it.
Or is it a waste of time and money?

i change it after breakin, and annually thereafter. maybe that's why my 8.75 lasted so long before disintegrating?
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?
