[madcampbell]

Hi Foks

Can somone point me in the right direction as to what oil ? fluid you fill the rear axle up with ....how much (volume ) and where you put it in ( I think it the large bolt in the top centre of the axle ) but am not sure

Thanks for any help

Limited slip diff

look at the axle code on the vin plate , if it ends in a 5 (eg G245 ) it is a lsd and needs lsd diff oil

the lsd stuff i used was
Valvoline durablend 75w-90 gl-5 ls gear oil

It reads R150F G282 so its not an lsd and just needs "diff oil" ...? any special type or is it cheap and cheerfull?

75w-90 gl-5 should do ........ they add something for the lsd to create a different oil

park the truck on level ground.
remove drain plug - bottom of diff casing.
replace drain plug.
fill diff with fresh oil through filler plug - half way up front of diff casing.
when oil starts to pour out of filler plug hole - refit plug.

clean all areas/sealing faces to stop any leaks once replaced.
