LOL!!!! Coincidentally I changed out the 993 LSD equipped trans fluid with Delvac (bought 4 qts at a truck stop) a couple of months back, stumbled across this exact pump sitting new in the package in one of the lower tool drawers. I must have bought it at Harbor Freight a year or two back thinking I may need it someday, worked great as long as you hold the hoses in while pumping.

You can buy it online- but an easier option is to go to a truck stop with a service station- Most T/A truck stops carry it- I even found it in liter bottles.

Truck stops or you can check the mobil site also. They will show which vendors carry heavy duty. For example a case of it can be found at the Carter machine here also. With a slight discount(just ask) it's cheaper and you can split it with someone.

I just got two gallons from Luftinic for$100.00 shipped. Tranny takes 3.7 gallons and the front diff takes about a quart.
May change it this weekend and will post pics.

Good point some regular stores have it. The locator on mobiles site will help.

Lol at the Harbor Freight hand pump. Last time I was there, I saw that sitting on the shelf and I said "I have no idea why, but I'm buying this thing." I've used it like 3 times since! And now i have a 4th task for it.

And pick up their $15 6-inch digital micrometer while you're at it; best tool I own.

Well that answers my question about what to use in the front diff

I've never seen it at autzone and I am there all the time hawking the Castrol German oil for other cars. I'll have to take a look again.

+1 on ordering from the above source
