[QUOTE="MTF, post: 874361, member: 499"] I thought I saw a thread about this? Well anyway, I just did mine today start to finish 40 minutes. I purchased everything on Amazon for $48.45 free shipping I don't know what Ford uses on the threads but it sure looks like plumbers putty. LOL I cleaned the threads with a stainless steel brush since it's all aluminum. You don't want to contaminate it with iron. I used Teflon Tape and paid attention not over tighten the plugs. You can probably screw them all the way through, so take a note were they are when you take them out. Note: I should have bought three quarts so in the next 15,000 to 20,000, I have enough to do it again. It took a 1 1/4 quarts and a 1/4 for a flush out. I also sucked out the transfer case using the pump in the bottom hole, not much was left but I'm just that way. I'm surprised to see and smell how burnt the fluid was, I have 20,000 miles on her and own the truck for 4 1/2 years now. I don't do any off-roading but did have to use my 4x4 a lot this pass winter because my tires just about had it. Also having the Whipple, I do all my serious launch's in 4x4 Hi with the rear diff locked when playing. [ATTACH]64562.vB[/ATTACH] Before flush [ATTACH]64563.vB[/ATTACH] Bad picture sorry, but I wanted to show the difference in color between old and new fluid. [ATTACH]64564.vB[/ATTACH] Next, Front Diff!
