[QUOTE="Vash, post: 711017, member: 1159"] Both front and rear differentials don't have drain plugs. They only have fill holes/plugs. Ford, in their infinite wisdom, made it so that you have to drop the pan/cover in order to service the differentials since they are "sealed for life" AKA 100,000 miles or so. To me, the biggest benefit of replacing the rear diff cover is to simply add a drain plug and dipstick so you don't have to drop the cover for a simple fluid swap. Unfortunately, due to the lack of clearance for the front differential cover there is no aftermarket cover that fits. It's another one of those simple and stupid design decisions like not having an engine bay accessible transmission dipstick and having TPMS but only providing a low pressure warning instead of also displaying actual tire pressure on the productivity screen.
