Yea, I ready that too in the 2500 owners manual and it left me scratching my head. I have decided I will probably just add it anyways. Unless someone can explain to me why that would cause me problems.

1 5/8" below the bottom of the fill hole? That sounds retarded enough to be true. Is that for the AAM axles or the corporate?

And it was said before that most synthetics have limited slip modifiers in them already. Redline 75w90NS does not, but the regular 75w90 does. Check the bottle before putting it in.
Here is the TSB

. The guys here on base at the AutoBody shop said they could help me change it next time.
Isn't that the Base Hospital?

I've never seen a diff with a drain. Except for an aftermarket cover or self installed.

Lube is took thick and the differential should be inpected when changed, this is why there is no drain.

There is a DIY in the DIY post at the top of the section.
