    Good morning all, I’m going to be removing my front and rear differentials to get gears/lockers installed. Does anyone have the FSM procedure they could post so I can have the torque specs?

    You’re taking your front and rear diffs completely off the truck to have gears installed?

    Was Googling this very thing for my '14; there are a few good youtube vids on the rear 3rd removal, but not too many on the front clamshell. Be warned, the rear weighs over 100 pounds.
