Hey Ron, you dont fill them to the hole on the Solid covers, here are the amounts each axle takes on this link....if you over fill it will come out the breather tubes an I've had it make the pinion seal leak also after the shop filled it to the hole

Thanks. I went to the link.
But, it makes me wonder why they did not put the hole at the correct level.

Busted! I quit reading when I found the answer to my original question. There was some potentially bad advice in that thread, though.

Hey man looks good, just got some lube locker seals just gonna put them on with the stock diff covers. Question for you when you say limited slip adhesive what is that and where do I get it. Also what kind of gear oil did you go with, I was thinking of going with Royal Purple. Thanks for the write up!

It's always tempting to fill more than stock. Whatever you do...Don't do! Stay with the stock amounts in the rear and front.
