Great suggestion for storing the silicon. Just last night I was fighting with mine to get it to flow...then I covered mine with plastic wrap and a rubberband. But I like this way of silicone storage better. Thanks.

First time I've ever seen anyone use construction silicone as an auto gasket sealant, LOL.

2000 f150 4.6 V8 .The rear end held 3 quarts of 75 W 140.

Thanks for the video I'll be doing My 97 f150 4.6 2wd it looks pretty simple but it's gonna be a hastle taking off because there's always an issue when it hasn't been taking care of and still has the original!

Thanks dude. Very informative. Appreciate your time

Hate all the commercials, and all respect due it sounded like I was getting a tram tour at an amusement park. But you got the job done thanks.

Thumbs Up!!!!

Hi, can I put the gasket Wit no rtv? Thanks...

Please can you help in anyway I have a rattle after acceleration, not no heat shield nor loose bolts or gaskets on exhaust system not the crank shaft pully or the belt tensioner it's not brackets on exhaust system it's a metalicy sound and gets quiet around 2nd 3rd gear it also makes the sound in neutral only when revving oils perfect in rear diff and engine and in intermediate idc but meby too much or too little in idc ? Would that cause it ? Thanks in advance paul p.s freelander 1 ESX k series engine 1.8

Thanks dude

Yes I want to do this this weekend but I don't have a ratchet gun can I do it with a hand ratchett and tighten bolts if I can't get him to spec ?.

What’s the purpose of the paper gasket when the silicone is put on both sides?

that was a great video they want $250 at the dealership to do that job

could I use the Felpro RDS55341 gasket on a 1995 f-150 with a 5.0 EFI engine My diff as 10 bolts and looks exactly as yous....Thank...good viveo you made....Carl

Thank You.

Where the brake lines split to the left of diff, cover?

Question: I have a 1996 F150 XL I have replaced the drum brakes. When driving I hear a squeaking noise from the rear driver side. Will replacing the diff fluid work with reducing that squeak? Thanks for this great video by the way.

Why would you use silicone the gasket is made to seal it?

I don't think it matters, but was this a truck with an automatic transmission, or with a 5 speed manual cause mines is 5 speed maunal, 4*4 with a 4.6 engine and I'm jus only haven trouble with the tiny security screw that holds the pin in place, it keeps loosing, Red thread locker doesn't seem to work, I may need to flood it with lock tight, I really don't want to, I got the truck new in 02, and yes it has high mileage, approximately, 950,000 miles, still runs great except for the rear end issues I'm experiencing. Any advise.

You Can also use Alcohol to Clean Gasket Cover and Around the Metal area all around Works great

Ok I replaced the rear end seal in my ford step by step but the dif is still leaking should I try and replacethe same seal again with more silicone? Or try the front seal near the drive shaft?

would the procedure be the same for 2000 Lincoln Navigator? Same fluid?

Muchas gracias amigo ...bendiciones

does anyone know where i can order the bolts for the diff cover? i snapped one . . .

I have a 2002 triton 4.6 v8 do i use aditive or no? Why the silicon and not just the gasket

I have a 2000 f150, I was told I don’t need a gasket, just silicone. I got red gasket maker(don’t know how that came about, lol) question is, do I not need a gasket? And if not, will the red gasket maker work? Thanks in advance

Should I use the silicone rubber on the transmission pan as well?

Will it hurt if I put Valvoline full synthetic 75 140 and it contains limited slip additive in my rear end

Hi great video. I have a question. Can I use a pump to suck out the old fluid and add the new fluid? I know it won't get all the old fluid out but I have so much rust on the bolts I would not want to strip/ break anything off.

is this the same procedure that I can use in a 2004 ford expedition?

Do you have to do anything to the front on a 2003 f150 2wd?

Do you have to change the gasket every time you change the fluid?

Is this the same process for a 2wd 97 F-150?

You said you need the separate friction mod but the oil I bought (royal purple) for mine has friction mod in it so does that mean I’m set

Can you use break cleaner to clean all the differential better..??

Do you need silicone if using a gasket??

Well it sure worked when I silconed around the bolt holes

Extra points for knowing "Second verse, same as the first"

Can you put the fluid in where the breather hose is?

you dont need RTV, torque on cover is 25-35, and 15-30 on fill plug

There are gaskets you can buy. Should I get a gasket or create one?

My car has traveled 195,000 kilometers, is it possible to change the differential oil or not?

I'm confused, you used silicone and not RTV which is what you normally reccomended. Should I not use RTV?

Hey good video but why using silicone when you have a gasket 🧐

lavcopricetech i knew i recognized u hahaha

Torque wrench is free, but not the size socket you need!

Something he failed to mention if you're using synthetic differential fluid leave one inch of space between the hole where your adding fluid and call it good because the synthetic fluid expands! And if it has nowhere to expand to guess what it's going to do it's going to blow your seal! I'm gearing up to do this little project myself and this is what four different mechanics have told me these exact same words leave one inch of space between the level of oil in the differential and the feel plug if you're using synthetic, and they also said that synthetic does last longer however they did recommend changing it out ever so often depending on your own maintenance schedule. I personally just bought this 1999 Ford f150 and I'm currently going through all this stuff myself just for Peace of mind and before winter gets here so it's not going to be balls ass cold outside and I have a bad issue , I even plan on having a radiator flush done real soon the belts and hoses look real good so I'm not too worried about them.

Like the video. All that work to clean the steel cover, but no clean up for the bolt heads? lol

Gasket gun? Thats just a angle die grinder?

I didn’t even know they make a gasket for diffs. I’ve never seen one. 😂

I was at my local Ford dealer today. And they told me I don't need to use a gasket. And didn't have one to sell me. So I am gonna buy an aftermarket one.

How many Fluid will I need?

Call me crazy but uh....what's the point of using silicone or gasket maker if you have an actual gasket?

Do you realize you only need to pat both sides of gasket with RTV without beads and piles of excess oozing out. Just wet the gasket…
