1st step is to always make sure to remove your fill plug first. If for some reason it’s stripped or broken and you didn’t notice you’re going to be what’s called “FUCKED”! At least until you figure it out or fix it. When making a how to video you should tell the viewer the size of the fasteners which on this vehicle is a 13mm for the cover bolts and can use a 3/8 extension or 3/8 square pipe socket for the fill plug… just clean it will before inserting it to make sure you do not strip or damage it.
02 f150 Fx4 differential cover bolts are 5/16 x 18 x 3/4" long with a 1/2" flange head on them. I stripped a few taking them off. Also I forgot the tag after I threw it aside. But the great video reminded me to go find it. thanks
Thank you so much I went threw 2 differential s and I was on the brink for a 3rd cause I didn't know where the plug was I overloaded the first one with Asian carp and the whole rear end fell out 😂 fish everywhere on the dirt road 2 nd one was ignorance now I m gonna save this one 😂😊
This mechanic is the perfect reason you do this job your self, he did not use a gasket and I never saw a torque wrench set for 33ft lbs he just wants to send it and get onto the next job.
@@BootLegGarage775 don't need a gasket with the rtv he's using and 33ft lbs would be too much...go into your bathroom, stare at the mirror, and see the moron staring back at you.
Not very bright are you. Gaskets are not required and busting out a torque wrench on differential cover bolts is a waste of time. It's not a fucking head bolt or a wheel stud.
Steve, thank you for sharing. Just one question....what was the extra fluid that you placed in that differential???? I'll wait for the answer. Greetings from Texas
@@BootLegGarage775 You can do the sealant and put it back on and add the oil right away? The back of the sealant tube says wait 24 hours. Is it OK to add the oil before that?
ive alwayslike me a little mess especially the shit talking of some poeple why dont u loud mouth s see if u can fight as well as u twist wrenches. good video.guys
