No, it doesn't hold more. I only got 3 quarts of the RP in mine when it started pouring back out the hole! I guess I should check it again -- to see if there was some settling or something.

Diesel Manor, if you don't want to wait for Ed to get back up & running.

I was able to put all 4 quarts in before it started coming out of the hole. Everything seems to be good. Thanks again. My next projects are the crank seal? and re-packing the front bearings. Not sure if those are things I can tackle.

I've been searching all evening for the p/n for the fel-pro gasket for the rear diff that Scott had mentioned over in another thread. Here it is: RDS55394

Thinking of replacing my cover with this one I found : Polished Rear Diff Cover

Wow you really can find anything on ebay: Ford 10.5 Cover Gasket Lube Locker F250 F350 Superduty

There is no gasket -- you just run a bead of gray silicone (I used Permatex) around it...
