How to service and repair the differential cover of the 8.8-Inch High Torque rear drive axle on 2006 Ford Ranger?

First position the vehicle on a hoist while maintaining it in neutral before servicing or repairing the differential cover of the Ford 8.8-Inch High Torque rear drive axle. The service requires uninstalling 10 bolts securing the housing cover then removing all lubricant from the rear axle housing. After cleaning the machined areas of the rear axle housing and differential housing cover you must verify their oil-free condition for the purpose of contamination prevention. The application of new silicone sealant should form a continuous bead on the differential housing cover which must be installed within 15 minutes but additional sealant is needed if installation takes longer than 15 minutes. Fitting the differential housing cover requires 10 bolts where you should torque them to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.). The friction modifier demands 118 ml (4 oz) before adding the specified rear axle lubricant amount of 2.54 liters (5.37 pints). Complete by installing the filler plug with 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.) torque.
