OK, next time if the fluid is black I'll taste it to be sure it's bad

f5, I understand your point, I'm just still a bit curious...

It's not a question of the FLUID being good or bad... more to the point: what is going on in the REAR diff to make it black and have alot more metal fragments stuck to the magnet on the drain plug as compaired to the FRONT. I haven't seen that in any of my other 4x4 vehicles.

Has anyone changed it a second time and found the same thing?
