Today my day was a bit diff
DIFFerent.. Haha get it 
Ok puns aside..
Today I decided to change out the differential fluids. I also decided to go ahead and do some preventative maintenance on the differential covers.
I stripped the covers down and repainted them with rustoleum, front flat, back semi gloss (ran out of flat). I also went OCD on the inside of the covers and got all of the goop off the inside. A thanks to GUZZLE for the easy step by step, and all the info you need (oil weights, bolt sizes, torque specs, etc.)

Your truck certainly will too.
Nice work.
And for those who are inspired to do this job, here is what I always do.
Drill a small hole in the bottom corner of the pan and weld a nut onto the inside.
Fill that hole with a bolt and sealing washer and you now have a drain plug with which you can use to change out the rear axle oil more often and with very little work/mess involved.
Just did it to my son in laws F150 Heritage last month.
