Differential replacement?

Hi I have drained the rear end fluid, and I am unsure how much oil to put back in there I think it's 4 quarts? Is that right?

Put a new gasket on and on the right side of the rear end gear housing is a 1/2 or 3/8 inch inset plug take a ratich with maybe a extension and unscew that plug add gear oil til it runs out, put plug in

I changed my rear axle assembly out and while I was doing that I changed out my universal joints. My brakes keep scrubbing and I'm feeling some wobbling in my rearend. I got the replacement rearend from a salvage yard and the part had 71,000 miles on it.

ALSO, check for a bent axle. That can give a wobbling feel.

I am looking for information on replacing the rear differential in my dads truck. What is involved and approximate rice if anybody could help with this info I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Thanks for the help, I am planning on replacing the unit with a new or used one. If I can ask this also, do I have to replace the axles and everything back there of just the gear unite of the differential?

Thanks again.

OK, so I have to replace the whole back end, axles and such, what do you mean "transfer the brakes over "?

If I can ask one more question on this. Do you know where I can find an exploded view of this to take a look at?

Thanks again.

Ah, I guess that makes sense.

Thanks for your help.

So I changed the rear end on my truck because original one had clacking and moving tires really bad. After I did the rear end change no noise no nothing so as I pull out the driveway at ten miles trucks start to pull and drops to 0 mph what can this be. No break lines connected went from disc to drum same ratio even did a rear end change twice. Also, u-joint bracket has one shorter bolt because I lost one did not have original one so I put one with different length Help!

Yes it lsd possi an yes has oil did it my self everything looks good inside. Only problem the dragging wheels when traveling 10 mphs wheels lock up. And on second gear it doesn't roll at all only at 4000-5000 rpm for it to move an rough

Hello I have a question and here it is. Im installing a new rear differential carrier into my truck because my old one was shot. I did not take the pinion out and I was told as long as I did that then I didnt need to measure backlash or anything all I had to do was have new side case bearings pressed onto the new assembly and put it back in with the old shims and torque it down and I was told this by a few people so I did this and I put my axles in to turn the differential and it barely turns and it takes alot of strength to turn the axle. I can barely turn the driveshaft as well. Help I gotta get this fixed. Any ideas? Ps everything went back together fine there was no fighting to get it in. The ring gear lines right up with the pinion gear. Did I do something wrong? Or is it supposed to be really tight cuz my old one wasnt that hard to spin
