I don't recall having to use a dipstick on my rearend .... in fact, I don't recall ever having a dipstick for or in my rearend... I think ya check it with any old "rear end dipstick" aka a piece of wood and the level should be about 1 inch down from the top (izzat about right boyz?)

Venturous Randy Posted September 9, 2009 #6 Posted September 9, 2009 I believe most on here fill it to about the bottom of the threads. I think that is what I did. RandyA
BuddyRich Posted September 9, 2009 #7 Posted September 9, 2009 Every rear end I have ever lubricated I always fill it till it starts to run out. Then put the plug it. Never used a dipstick
skydoc_17 Posted September 9, 2009 #8 Posted September 9, 2009 Because the final drive on BOTH First and Second Gens. is vented just fill the rear end till it starts to "dribble out" and put the plug in. The extra 1/2 oz. of rear end lube will lower the operating temp. of the final drive by 5 degrees (actually tested it). Any extra gear oil will exit the final drive in the form of a mist thru the vent. (see pic below)
Sheradan Posted September 9, 2009 Author #9 Posted September 9, 2009 Thank you all. I'll just fill er up.
SilvrT Posted September 9, 2009 #10 Posted September 9, 2009 Thank you all. I'll just fill er up. Great... can we start with the "smart remarks" now??? ....make sure the vent isn't clogged so that any buildup of gasses can pass from your rearend.
Iowawegian Posted September 9, 2009 #11 Posted September 9, 2009 Thank you all. I'll just fill er up. That's what they all say.
