That will work, but be sure you get the water out before refilling. CHECK YOUR BEARINGS for rust!!!!

Don't forget you will need to add friction modifer with the gear lube. Brake cleaner will work good I 2nd DaveBen on what he said.

What is friction modifer? Never heard of it, i have heard of limited slip additive, are they the same thing?

 

[IDSTROKER]

Yes pretty much The only place that i buy it is from ford.

 

[7.3turbodiesel]

okay, i usually get that stuff from napa.

 

[DaveBen]

Do you have Posi in the Front End?? If you do (unlikely) then you need the Limited Slip Additive.

[7.3turbodiesel]

how can u tell if u have posi?

 

[DaveBen]

Jack the front end up and spin one tire; is the other tire trying to spin? Yes = Posi, No = Open Differential (no posi). It is really rare to have Posi in the front end of our trucks, because they are driven in 2WD most of the time and the Posi would make it very hard to turn the front wheels to the right or left. This is due to the Posi action trying to keep the wheels spinning at the same rate. This defeats the differential. Posi in Jeeps or other vehicles that are used off road mostly, are more common.

Its not posi, gotta get that friction modifeir tomorrow plus some new brake pads and she will be good to go for install. hopefully next weekend

 

[DaveBen]

If you do not have a Posi you do not need the friction modifier! Don't waste your money.
