Is there a need to use anything to reseal the drain hole? What do you guys use?

[Ascinder]

I never use anything to reseal the fill or drain, but you could use some silicone gasket maker like permatex ultrablack. It's high temp and largely impervious to almost all automotive fluids. Mine have never leaked or seeped, so if yours does, check for it being cross threaded, and also check the part of the plugs seating surface for knicks or burrs.

OK, I am right in the middle of doing this right now, and looking at the rear diff capacities Kenny posted earlier, it says 2.3 quarts on list and 3.2 quarts on the other?????????????

WHICH ONE IS IT???? Also, does anyone know the torque specs for the drain and fill holes?

Thanks - Bart

OK well, one list says 3.2, and one says 2.3, that is why I am confused. Furthermore, I put in roughly 2 quarts and then it started to dribble out. Is that enough? Or do I need to get another quart in there????

Thanks,
Bart

Once it dribbles out, it's full. It would be a good idea to check it in a couple of days, just to make sure.

Hi the diff plugs should have a thin copper ring the same as the transfer and gear box have - in adddition i wouldn't leave the timing belt for the 100,000 miles that Isuzu recommend - 100,000 km maybe but not miles

Thanks Steve, I thought that little question had passed over everyones head.
Looks like I am up for a timing belt and tensioner change then. Another weekend with the Mrs nagging that I don't do anything for her.
Oh well - amazing how my hearing deteriorates after a few beers.
