    Diff Leak

    Not related to what I just told you but, on any differential, if it has a drain plug, make sure that you remove the fill plug first. If the fill plug is frozen and you have already drained the fluid, you are stuck till you get the fill plug out. IIRC, the front diff has the drain and fill plugs...

    Diff Leak

    That does not look wet but does show dry seepage. Is likely ok but the fill plug is a 3/8" drive that can be removed and use 75w-90 gear oil and squeeze some in there, on flat ground. When starts to come back out, is full. Usually, the 75w-90 container has a pointed snout that the tip gets cut...

    Bump Stops

    That is a bump stop and is normal to "eventually" have to replace. When suspension is loaded, it is normal for the lower control arm to touch the bump stop. Compress the suspension and it compresses the bump stop and eventually will "smash" it.

    Joining from Missouri

    Welcome to the forum, from Oregon. I moved to Oregon in 1995, from northwest of you, from Gladstone. I have a cousin that lives closer to you in Warrensburg. Nice looking truck and the frame is not rusted out, which is something I dealt with because of the salt on the roads in Gladstone but not...

    Rust free in PNW 2004 Suburban 2500

    3/4 ton too. But I do not tow anything and is not needed. Plus, the mileage is higher than I would want, too. https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/bend-gmc-yukon-xl-denali-4x4-very-low/7916007736.html This one is more my style but way to big a price. I have talked to the seller and he came down...

    Do I need a different tune after doing new exhaust?

    No need for a tune unless you just have an itch to spend money. Use Black Bear performance, if you do. Also, contact them and they will advise if needed or you will notice the benefit if you do. If you do a tune, you may want to mess with other settings and wake up the engine.
