Thanks, guys! I was actually thinking 'bout something like that the other day!
I'll pay Kmart or Wal Mart a visit next days off.

25 dollar pump at the auto parts store. works well for me. Those cheaper ones makes such a mess.

It said it was for 1 gallon bottles. But I guess it works well in the bottle the fluid came in as well.

I have one of these: . I don't remember where I bought it - it's been years. Pegasus has them as does probably any decent auto parts store. One drawback is that it's a little slow, but it does the job well otherwise.

Thanks.. I went to Walmart last night, but they were polishing the fukin floors in the automotive section. So I couldn't get it. I went to Autozone and got one of those gallon jug pumps. It worked perfectly.

That diff fluid smells NASTY!

For anyone interestd the diff takes a little less then 2 quarts.
