Differental fluid pump?

Does anyone know where I can find one of those pumps that fit on the 1 quart bottles to pump in differential oil in?

In the oil section of any reputable auto store.

Also, you can go to any restaurant supply store or Smart & Final and buy clear squeeze bottles and mark the sides w/ ounce marks accordingly. The ones that I'm talking about are usually red or yellow colored for ketchup or mustard.

I'm going to buy a few of them for different fluid changes.

Just my 2cents. I use a Drill Pump with heater hose clamped to both sides to fill the Trans and Diffs. Works very well and if you get hose that is small enough to fit into the bottles and filler holes correctly it is very clean as well. The oil keeps the pump cool as well...

Here is a link to a Sears Model Drill Pump.

I did my tranny and diffs changes a couple of months ago and I bought a suction/pump gadget from the local parts store. It was rather messy and wasn't as efficient as I'd like. I was thinking of possibly using something similar to the bug spray pumps or try the sears one next time. Gotta be something better.

Make sure the stalube pump will fit other brands if you are not going to use stalube lubricants. I know they make one that only fits their bottles. If you remove the spare tire you can fill the rear diff easily right from the bottle. The front is more of a hassle. I too used one of those suction gun deals to refill them and it wasted alot of product. Cabela's marine dept. sells a pump that fits all major brands of tranny fluid bottle (same as most oil bottles) that makes re-filling the transfer case a snap! That is if you have the automatic and chain drive case- the others use gear oil.

Napa has one of those drill-pumps and let me tell you that thing will pump. I used it to suck some tranny fluid out of my old car when I added too much. I used some clear tubing that fit down the dip stick tube. Fire up the drill and zooooooom up it comes!
