Diff fluid??

[Tooch]

Ok, so I've read all the manuals and done all the research and everything is telling me to put 2 Liters into each differential. Now, normally I wouldn't think twice about this, but to me that just kind of seems high.

Also, while I was draining it, both the front and the back didn't even come close to having 2 Liters of fluid in them comined. I checked the seals and there were no visible leaks and it appeared that there wasn't anything wrong with them.

Anyway, my major question is how much fluid should I put in each one? It says 2 Liters but is that too much?

Just figured I'd check before I guessed and did it wrong.

Also, I did paint them yellow and hopefully the covers will be on tomorrow. I'm hoping this will look kind of bad....a**, but we'll see.

just fill it until it starts to come out the plug hole. i think mine were just over a quart each? but i think the general rule of thumb is just fill it to the fill hole, and when it starts comin out, plug it!

unless you have rotated your pinion, then the hole in the cover isnt the right height. I need to redrill a new hole in mine or something. havent decided yet how to approach it.

everything stated above. what i do is fill till it pours out the plug and then plug it...gives a little extra but not enough to cause major problems.

FWIW, the Dana44's in my Wagoneer take almost 2qts. each. To be more exact, it starts coming out of the fill hole after 1.75qts.

YMMV

That's all I wanted to know... I like the idea of the plug because there is just no way to measure the inside of a non-see-through container!

Thanks again

I agree. Put some Royal Purple in it
