Does the fuel pump shut off once the fuel gets down to a certain level or does the fuel pump keep going until the tank is dry?

Isn't our gas tank sealed from the atmosphere, provided that the gas cap is properly threaded on?

First differential and manual transmission service

2013 2SS, LS3, 6 speed manual

These are the lubricants I came up with.

These are correct, right?

And should I drain the old oil when the oil is hot or cold?

Car on jackstands, engine running, tranmission in gear

Any reason not to do this? It can be handy at times for testing, troubleshooting, etc.

I am hesitant because I am not sure about letting the rear suspension sag with power going to the wheels.
