How to service and repair the 10.25 Inch Rear Axle differential cover on 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage?

The Ford 10.25 Inch Rear Axle differential cover needs servicing by raising and supporting the vehicle before removing the 12 differential housing cover bolts for draining the rear axle housing lubricant. Both the rear axle housing and differential housing cover require machine surfaces to be clean without oil residue after which cover the inside of the rear axle housing to avoid contamination. Place a new continuous bead of silicone sealant on the differential housing cover after cleaning both surfaces of the rear axle and the differential housing cover. New silicone sealant becomes necessary when the cover installation exceeds 15 minutes from the beginning of its application. It is best to provide a wait time of one hour preceding lubricant addition to allow silicone sealant to properly cure. Complete differential housing cover installation by tightening its bolts before pouring the specified lubricant to a level which drops below the filler hole opening. Seal the filler hole with its plug afterward. Before putting Traction-Lok axle vehicles on the ground users should pour in 8 ounces or 236.5 milliliters of friction modifier additive.
