how much fluid does it take and what type of fluid do you reccomend...i do need that frection modifier too right

bobby

yup, get amsoil, it has the friction modifier already in it, and it is THE BEST you can get, capicity? i dont know, maybe 2 quarts>

yeah 2qt. is perfect. I use Redline and it has the friction modifier in it too. 2 is fine...

just for another opinion, the tech guys at Strange Engineering where I bought my 9" Ford rear end recommend that I not use synthetic gear lube as the company that makes their gears (U.S. Gears) has done a lot of testing and found that regular petroleum based lube works better than synthetics to minimize gear wear. and with a spool I don't need that stinking friction modifier either.

bobby

so when its completely dry, how do you fill it up?

you stick a tube on the bottle and squeeze it into the check plug

When I did my rear end, I used 75W-140 Full Synthetic Motorcraft, caus eit was laying around the shop and it's used in all the modern 8.8s... That stuff is liquid gold and $30 a bottle.
