Who has ever, in the history of the world, changed the diff lube on a new vehicle after 500?
Most vehicles got 100,000 wit no diff lube change.

After all the $$ I spent on the regear I was more than happy to let the guy make sure everything was ok.

It’s has nothing to do with heating cooling cycles. They are hardened and that is here they stay. It’s about the polishing or “finish” the ring and pinion mating surfaces get to one another. Aftermarket gears are not near as smooth as a factory cut gear set. The finish just isn’t there as when they finish grind from the factory. But after a “break in” period they polish together.
Basic short answer to a whole lot longer and complex system of making gears.

I set up a set of gears many years ago with nothing more than the filament off of a cigarette package, put them in the back of a Cherokee with an 800 horse small block with no frame stiffys, we pulled smoky burnouts and made the thing twist, the doors fell off, brought it to Moab and jumped it off of cliffs. Then drove it all the way home im drive 2 with the red line pegged, but I would slam on the brakes and hammer it again just to make my gears wear extra hard. Then I stopped at the humane society and punched some kittens too. Oh, and may, or may not have, gotten a handy at a few truck stops.....

Years ago when I built the popcan, we went to set the gears up in the front 60...
We found a cigarette butt under the pinion seal in the front.
On the LJ we did the gears 5 years ago...I have maybe 2500 miles on them since. The first 500 miles were in Moab in 2013...

You know. Some of the new guys might think you're joking.
I don't change my gear oil, the water comming in from the leaky pinion seal flushes all the mud and bad stuff out for me.

I told him yes...
He said he needs to think about it.
It’s exactly what his post is asking for...
We shall see if he backs out...
The ball is in his court...
