35 Rear Axle 35–00 Safety Precautions Safety Precautions in this section apply to all procedures within this group. DANGER 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires. 2. Clean the fill plug and the area around it. In the axle housing rear cover, remove the plug from the oil fill hole. See Fig. 1. When working on the vehicle, shut down the engine, set the parking brake, and chock the tires.
35 Rear Axle Detroit Drive Axle Lubricants* CAUTION Be careful when draining the axle oil. It may be very hot, and could cause personal injury if it contacts the skin. 3. Place a drain pan under the rear axle drain plug. Drain the oil when it is warm. At this temperature, the oil will run more freely and ensure that the axle is flushed. 4. Clean the fill and drain plugs. Change them if necessary. 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.
35 Rear Axle 500,000 miles (800 000 km) for axles using synthetic lubricant with a pump and filter system. On single drive axles so equipped, the traction equalizer may slip or stick. When this happens, the driver will hear intervals of shrill noises when the vehicle is driven at low speed or makes sharp turns. Use a "limited-slip friction modifier" to correct this slip/stick condition. Add 1.6 ounces (35 mL) of additive for each pint (0.5 L) of lube capacity.
35 Rear Axle to short the two magnetic poles and divert the magnetic field. 5.2 5.3 Check the drain plug for metal particles every 100,000 miles (160 000 km). Clean away the collected material deposited on each pole. Magnets will rapidly lose their effectiveness as collected material bridges the gap between the two poles. Each time the oil is changed, replace any magnetic drain plug that does not meet the minimum pickup capacity.
35 Rear Axle 4.2 Wash the strainer in solvent, and blow it dry with compressed air to remove oil and metal particles. 4.3 Install and tighten the magnetic strainer 40 to 60 lbf·ft (54 to 81 N·m). 1 5. Clean the fill and drain plugs. Change them if necessary. 5.1 For magnetic plugs, use a piece of key stock or any other convenient steel slug to short the two magnetic poles and divert the magnetic field. 5.2 Clean away the collected material deposited on each pole.

Install and tighten the fill plug 35 lbf·ft (47 N·m). IMPORTANT: Always check the axle breather whenever checking the lubricant level. Check the breather more frequently under adverse operating conditions. 5. Check the axle housing breather. Make sure that it is open and unclogged. See Fig. 7.
35 Rear Axle 5. Install and tighten the fill plug 40 to 60 lbf·ft (54 to 81 N·m). Automatic transmission fluid can be used for all temperatures; do not mix it with kerosene. IMPORTANT: Always check the axle breather whenever checking the lubricant level. Check the breather more frequently under adverse operating conditions. 3. Coat the threads of the fill plug with a small amount of Loctite® 242, or equivalent sealant. Install the fill plug finger-tight in the rear axle shift unit housing.
