I'd like to see that as well. When my 3.76 was installed, the tech filled it up while the diff unit sat on the work bench. Once that thing was installed, it looks real tight to get to the re-fill plug unless you have the car on a lift..

Won't jacking up the rear cause the car not to be level and as such, harder to drain all the fluid?

hmmm valid point but i think unless you are paper thin or have access to a lift

or if you want to put the car up on 4 jackstands

i dont really see another way

you will still be able to drain and fill or just check

the way i was taught to check the fluid in a rear was too open the check

and put your finger in ...if you can feel fluid ..good to go

but if someone has a diffrent way by all means post up

always looking for theasier way to do things
