According to the owners manual for a 1999 Ford Ranger ( all applications ) the rear differential takes 5.0 - 5.3 pints ( 2.4 - 2.5 liters ) of Motorcraft SAE 80 w 90 Premium Rear Axle Lubricant . If it is a Traction - Lok differential include 4 ounces ( 118 ml ) friction modifier for a complete refill.
Between the 2 back wheels , in the center (differential housing) where the drive gears are
I have a 2000 XLT and it was located on top of the rear differential...10 minute fix
The rear differential plug is located on the inside top part of the differential. Where the drive shaft connects.
the recommendation for the differential housing cover bolts is 16 ft. lbs.
80-90w in the tranny and the rear differential.
speed sensor is located at top of rear differential
All Ford Rangers have a rear differential , and if they are 4X4 equipped , a front differential also
its on the rear axle housing
