Can't remember 100% for sure, but there should be a fill plug on the backside of the diff, fill until comes out the hoke. As for draining! Crack the bolts, let it flow! BTW! your going to need a new seal!

There is a drain plug on the bottom of the dif, in the front facing fowward. The fill is on I believe the right side of the dif about 1/2 way up.
Hope tht helps, Dennis

to fill buy a gear oil pump it should screw into the bottle of gear oil just put the the tube into the filler hole and pump away.

both the fill and drain plugs are on the side of the halfshaft, the drain plug is not on the bottom of the diff. both are facing the front of the truck, look for them, the sway bar and other steering stuff could be in the way so you don't see them, thats why to fill you need a pump. remove the spash gaurd you should be able to see them and get to them.
