Differential Fluid Replacement

[pharmacist25]

Anyone have a write-up for changing the diff. fluid in my front differential on a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT v6 4wd
Thanks in advance.

Would also love to have a diagram of the front axle area if anyone has it. trying to diagnose a noise.

Thanks in advance. No drain plug present, changing it not too easy! Why are you considering doing this?

I bought a suction gun, kinda looks like a grease gun without the grease spout. Sucks the old oil out pretty well from the fill hole. Refilled with new semi-syn oil. Wasn't hard at all, I've done it twice so far.

Also change your transfer case oil with Mercon V, it is easy to do.

What kind of friction modifier did you use in your rear diff assuming you have already changed it?
