A few weeks ago I changed the rear diff fluid in my truck. The first pic shows all the "sludge" that was collected by the magnet. This just was after 22,000 miles. The second and third pic shows it before and after I cleaned it up. And last, but not least, my diff cover that I painted while I had it off. I painted it with Rust-Oleum Metalic Finish Aluminium paint. It says "Metallized for a rich finish" on the can. Also, I used Valvoline Synthetic 75w-90 gear oil and a GM gasket. I thought this might be some usefull info for those wondering about changing the diff fluid.

  And there aren't any "bellows". There are solid plastic doors the actuators move, which largely seal just by themselves, and then have a strip of foam around the edge to better seal the door. The foam does deteriorate over time, but this is unlikely to be a significant cause of the problem.

  are the heater controls set for hot or cold air? If it's set for hot, and say, to get air from outside the cab (vs recirculated air), even w the fan off, air will get pushed through the hvac system, over the heater core and into the cab. Switching it to cold will reduce the temp to whatever it is outside. Switching to recirculate mode (which may mean switching to vents or whatever, read your owners manual), will reduce the amount of airflow through the hvac system.
