How to Service and Repair the 8.8 Inch Ring Gear Differential Cover on 2003 Ford Ranger?

Services for repairing the Ford 8.8 Inch Ring Gear differential housing cover begin with lifting the vehicle before supporting it. The lubricant drainage goes into a clean container before dismantling the bolts and differential housing cover. The cleaning process should include both machined surfaces of housing and cover while removing all traces of oil prior to silicon sealant application while maintaining protective material on the rear axle interior to avoid contaminants. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant to the differential housing cover surfaces before installing it within 15 minutes of application because longer delays will require new sealant. The repair process requires silicone sealant to cure for one hour before continuing with the process of lubricant addition. Secure the differential housing cover in position while installing its bolts. The lubrication process for Traction-Lok axles begins with friction modifier addition to the amount of 118 ml (4 oz) followed by adding rear axle lubricant to reach 2.4 liters (5.0 pints) then inserting the fill plug. Finally, lower the vehicle.
