How to service and repair the differential cover on a 8.8-inch ring gear rear drive axle on 2009 Ford F-150?

The service and repair of Ford 8.8-inch ring gear rear drive axle differential cover starts by placing the vehicle in neutral gear and hoisting it up. The first task consists of removing the 10 differential housing cover bolts then draining the lubricant from the axle housing before removing the cover. The installation process requires both the differential housing and cover to have clean machined surfaces which must be free of oil contamination. Therefore place a protective covering inside the rear axle while cleaning for prevention. Use a new continuous silicone sealant-bearing strip on the differential housing cover but perform its installation operation within 15 minutes after application to prevent needing more sealant. Sufficient curing time of one hour should occur for silicone sealant before lubricant fills the axle housing. Refit the differential housing cover along with ten bolts while tightening them at 45 Nm (33 lb-ft). Use 118 ml (4 oz) of friction modifier and then proceed with adding 2.6L (5.5 pt) of axle lubricant to the traction-lok axle before tightening the filler plug to 52 Nm (38 lb-ft).
