Uh, I must be wrong in my thinking as far as capacity goes. I was under the impression that if the fill hole is on the side you fill the diff to that point. That way you can't overfill it. The overfill just flows back out. So if that is true and the filler is on the side, just go buy 6 pints and return the left over.

Of course, this could be totally wrong and that would make this a useless post. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>No, you are right. Phil had asked before if anyone knew offhand about how much so he would know how much to buy. I looked it up and it said 4 pints. He filled it and it took more. Now this thread pops up and I look again only for an '04 model and it said something different. It's just an approximation from GM so you will know about how much but the amount shouldn't change by a pint and a half unless there was something different from one model year to the next.

On DH's he doesn't even have the fill/check hole. So, a novice might try to fill through the breather hole and would obviously over fill.

The best oil to use is Amsoil here is the link for the specs

I have it on mine and it is very good!

I just got home and crawled under My 05 and the drain is in diff. housing on bottom of course and the check hole is in the AAM stamped cover plate on rear of rear diff. Front has check and drain on drivers side and I could not even touch lube with pinky finger. I will top off in the morning. The rear is down below check quite a bit also will top off. This rig has been supposedly checked twice now and I find no leaks somebody is going to get an ear full Friday. Rear color looked normal but I have not run it hard as most.
Is that the same locations of the previous years? If not do I need to find a different cover plate than Phil's for rear. It appears the rear check is to right of center.
I'm wonderng if there is room for a larger cover as one on there now is all but touching a cross bar running center across the diff. that is between axle and sway bar levels. I wish my repair Cd's would get here. What is that little more like rectangular looking tube bar. It is closed in not angle iron type or I beam shape and assume it must have something to do with air ride?
thanks

The bar across My diff on 05 is square ro more rectangle. This one is round in this picture. Is this aftermarket od different year model? What is this bar? It almost touchs My cover.
Would a aftermarket cover fit in there?

Yes it's aftermarket and it's called the panhard bar. You can get one at trailduty.com.

My panhard bar does not look like the stock in photo at trailduty. Mine is rectangular and tube. It has no openings like on the backside etc. Is this an improved bar over past model bars. It looks strong.

****, right now I couldn't tell you what mine looks like. They might have changed it from the '03 model. If you look for one, it is also called a track bar. I don't think there is a difference between panhard and track bars.

Hey, I remember now. I was about to have to go crawl under the backend and look.

My panhard rod is an Edelbrock too.

My bad i was in a hurry to check levels and get plugs out in dark with flash light. I could not even touch oil in front diff and barely in rear. My bar is just like the picture.
Someone at dealer is not doing the job and My regular contact is out till Monday so I'm going to top off and have sit down with Him then.
Thanks Phil and PARAGON
Phil ship Me a cover when they get in.

Thanks All Sorry
