What did the old fluid look like? Any idea how many miles on it? Did it smell like death or like a burning car(?)
I just swapped my rear diff fluid out after 84K miles and there was no smell and it was pretty clean. Wondering if it was done 40K ago when I bought it.

My 04 Cobra diff fluid smelled like a dead body warmed over and was ready for that same smell but no dice this time

We pulled a Ford 9in off a plumber's utility truck at a junkyard one hot and sweaty day in the 90's. To this day I can remember that diff smell.

I have a Honda rancher that I bought with a blown rear diff. It had been shattered and sunk, so it was full of burnt gear oil and pluff mud. That was a new smell that I’d love to forget but it still lingers on the rancher

Friction modifier was the smell if it had a positrack.
