    I hit a deer once, it came around and busted my hub cap!! Had to call for service. Carry an extra ever since. 27 years later, haven’t needed it yet. Probably because I have it. Lol. The bearings can run on an amazingly low amount of oil without damage.

    I think later when I'm sufficiently drunk I'll make a post about a burned headlight just to see what kind of an abortion we can turn that thread into.

    You are scum for driving around with a burned out headlight. Just go on down to the dmv and hand over your license.

    The gear oil spray out of the hole should have been pretty obvious.

    Unless its got greased bearings in the hubs.

    Keep an eye on the level. Looks full now, after running a bit, a hour or so, check it again. It will probably be low. Takes almost a quart of oil to fill if completely empty. Get exact level reading after it’s sat for about an hour. Best time, before driving. Lol.
