TTB oil drain
After a 'wheelin trip with my buddies to the mud bog in my 1990 f-150 4x4, I found the oil in the front end had some water in it. I noticed it didn't have a diff. cover or a drain plug like the 8.8 in the rear. What's the easiest way to get the oil drained? All replies are appreciated. Thank You

I had to pump mine out. I don't like the design of the front axle. Wish they could have thrown a drain plug in. I really hate to think how much crap didn't get sucked out when I changed the lube oil in the axle.

You can loosen the bolts and pry the 3rd member loose, and let the oil drain out, then tighten everything back up and pray it dosent leak; or you can use a suction gun to suck it out. You are actually suppossed to remove the 3rd member, but these are a few tricks I've learned.
