How to service and repair the differential cover on a 7.5-inch rear drive axle on 2006 Ford Ranger?

A Ford 7.5-inch rear drive axle differential cover repair and servicing process begins with placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear while suspending it on a hoist. Start the procedure by taking out the 10 housing cover bolts of the rear axle differential and draining the lubricant from the housing. Clean both the rear axle housing and the differential housing cover's machined areas until they have no oil residue to stop contamination. Attaching the differential housing cover with new silicone sealant requires the metered application of specified dimensions along the surface within a 15-minute timeframe or else fresh sealant application is needed. Install the differential housing cover then fasten it with 10 bolts which need to be tightened at 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.). Before pouring 2.4 liters (5 pints) of specified lubricant into the rear axle for Traction-Lok axles, users must first add 118 ml (4 oz) of additive friction modifier. This mixture requires the fill plug to be tightened to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
