It should be about 2 quarts with a limited slip you also need to put some friction modifier in with it. you should fill it until it comes out the fill hole.

Thanks--I had a feelin it was right around 2 or 2.5 qts---I talked to detroit engineering directly on my diff and they said to stay away from friction modifiers.

stock Fords are the only ones that used that stuff if its not stock stay away from it. But if it is stock it won't work right without it

if you get synthetic fluid you dont need friction modifier, its all ready in it. look on the back and it will say so. if its not limited slip then dont worry.

They also said to stay away from synthetics--Its a detroit true-trac locker.

Then follow their advice and only use 90 weight gear oil.
