HI,

What engine does it have? 5.0 or a 4cyl. The v8's have a 8.8 rear end in them. and there should be a plus somewhere on the housing of the diff area..
it was a 4 banger but it has been converted to a 5.0.where would this plus sign be?
G
was the rear end change too. if not sure, should be a tag somewhere that will say the rear type.. I can't remember we the plus is at, but if there no plus unbolt the cover to drain the fuild..
ok how do i refill the rear axle.i cant find a fill plug?
G
the fill plug is on the front side of the diff housing using a 3/8" ratchet and short extension
thanks guys.

ps.i want to thank every one here.i have been to other forums in the hunt to help a buddy out( i always get stuck working on there cars.)where the members were pretty rude.but you guys are very helpful.so thanks.and with the condition his stang is in i am sure i will return here.
