DISCUSSION:
The axle fill holes on some Dodge Truck vehicle axles may be located considerably higher than the actual fluid level. Filling the axle until the fluid
comes out of the fill hole will over fill the axle, which may cause fluid foaming. When checking fluid level or filling a rear axle with fluid, you must
measure the distance from the bottom of the fill hole to the top of the actual fluid level. This can easily be accomplished using a pipe cleaner or piece of
wire. Make a 90 degree bend in the wire 2 inches from the end. The wire can then be inserted into the axle fill hole to use as a dipstick. Measure the
distance from the bend to the oil level. The fluid levels for the axles are shown in the table below.
