Re: How do I check the differential Fluid?

because the fill hole on the rear diff is quite high and kind of awkward to get at , what is the easiest way to fill it? extension tube on a funnel , or pump gun or what?

Hand pump and flexible hose; you can buy them at any auto parts store.

also how much oil is enough?? - thanks for any advice!!
Until it runs out of the bottom of the fill hole. If your diff was bone dry (if you could drain every drop) it would take just over three quarts to fill it. Since gear oil is quite viscous, you'll never get all he old stuff out. It helps to drive the truck until fully hot before you change it.
