PARTS DONT GET UPGRADED THEY JUST GET REPLACED. PULL THE FRONT AXLES OUT AND DRIVETRAIN. REPLACE THE O-RINGS AND REINSTALL.

Finger's crossed. I recommend you source some Motorcraft 75W-140 Synthetic Rear Axle Lubricant to top off the front differential (holds 0.6 qt).
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW ITS .6 QUARTS WITHOUT REMOVING THE UNIT AND DRAINING THE FLUID AND TOPPING IT OFF TO .6 QUARTS?

You read the manual.
IF ITS LEAKING YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE UNIT ANYWAY SO WHY NOT JUST DRAIN IT COMPLETELY YOUR GONNA HAVE IT OUT ANYWAY. AND THERES TWO DIFFERENT TYPES NOT JUST THIS ONE. OMG THE ONLINE TECHS LOL.

Back on topic, here was our latest leak. And our mufflers were leaking exhaust, where the pipe goes into the muffler. On a cold morning start you could see the puffs of smoke coming from the failing welds, but of course they say nothing was wrong. anotherfuckingexplorerleak.jpg explorer exhaust leaks.jpg They even charged us $160 to look at the cracked exhaust, so they could tell us it wasn't covered. Thermal exhaust fixed that, because they refused to fix any exhaust problems with the extended warranty.

Output shaft seal.

All that work for a $20 seal. I looked it up, at least all the "special" tools are available if you choose to use them.
