First off: 99 XJ, 4.0., AW4, 4x4, stock gears and open carriers.
I was out checking all of my fluids on my semi-new-to-me XJ that I have been too busy to do until now. I pulled the fill plug to check the fluid level on my front D30 and the plug had a layer of fine metal shavings on it. I know the plug is magnetic which is why it was covered with shavings, but it this "normal" for the D30? How much, if any, shavings should be expected?
I haven't pulled the cover yet, I will be pulling it to change the fluid tomorrow or the next day after work, so a more thorough inspection will follow.
