[QUOTE="Vman, post: 442938, member: 22091"] Learn to do it yourself. Differential and transfer cases couldn't be more simple to do. If you just bought it I would definitely replace all the fluids. New fluid is a lot cheaper than a ruined diff/transfer case. I used lube-locker gaskets on my diffs instead of RTV and now changing the fluid on both takes less than 30 mins. For the transfer case, all you have to do on a stock JK is remove 4 bolts and drop the skid plate to gain access to the drain/fill plugs. Super easy. If you have an auto transmission, I'd look into getting the fluid and filter replaced as well. That's a little more involved but I wouldn't classify it as a difficult do-it-yourself. [/QUOTE]
