[QUOTE="TargetBow, post: 606623, member: 13091"] I thought this would be fairly easy but once I unbolted the front cover and let the fluid drain out, I was unable to remove the cover from the vehicle. I spent hours trying to get it past the steering parts located in front of the front diff. I tried jacking up the vehicle, lowering the vehicle but all efforts were worthless. The cover would move but would get stuck between the steering parts and the ring gear, it would try to wedge itself in between the two.:mad3: Finally I stopped trying to get it off and just cleaned it up the best I could and put silicone on the mating surface and bolted everything back up and put Amsoil Severe Gear® 75W-140 in the diff per Chris's recommendation. The next time I want to change the front diff fluid I will take it to the :worthy: dealer unless someone on this forum has any pointers for me. I looked on the forum for answers by searching but the only thread I could find was this one.[URL="http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f7/1500-mile-break-service-13373/"]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f7/1500-mile-break-service-13373/[/URL] which said it was possible to get off, but I just couldn't get it. The only water the vehicle ever sees is on the road on rainy days, I never had it in deep water and still have the same issue with factory fluid looking milky and grayish.
