How to service the 8.8 Inch Rear Axle Differential Cover on 2003 Ford F-150?

The service process of the Ford 8.8 Inch Rear Axle differential housing cover requires positionning the vehicle on a hoist before taking out the 10 differential housing cover bolts to extract lubricant from the rear axle housing. Squeeze out the differential housing cover after completing the drain process. Both surfaces on the rear axle housing and differential housing cover should be cleaned with no visible oil residue when applying the new silicone sealant bead. The installation of the cover needs to happen within 15 minutes of sealant application or a new application of the sealant becomes necessary. Put new lubricant into the differential after the silicone sealant completes its curing process which takes a minimum of one hour. The installation process requires placing the differential housing cover into position before fastening it with the 10 bolts. Pour friction modifier up to 4 ounces into the rear axle and proceed by adding 5.37 pints of rear axle lubricant before installing the filler plug. Finally, lower the vehicle.
