Adding front differential fluid to a 2004 Chevy trailblazer how and where?

The front differential is a full synthetic gear lube. If you have to ask where it is then you should probably take it to a reputable dealer or Lube shop. The actual specs for the gear lube are in the owners manual. Whoever wrote this has no clue either. The front diff has a 26mm bung on the right front side of the diff casing. See photo page 5-47 of 2003 owners manual

Changing Fluid on rear differential ON A 1997 ford expidition?

The best way to do it is to lift the rear of the truck so that the shocks are fully extended. make sure you have a replacement differencial gasket and gear lube before hand. remove the differential cover to drain the old gear oil. clean both mating surfaces to prepare for the new gasket. Now, either on the top or on the side of the differential is a screw off type plug. Remove the plug and place an approximate, 3/8 hose on the gear lube bottle and into the differential hole and squeeze the bottle until the lube is just at the bottom of the hole and about to pour out. Replace the plug and you should be good to go.
