depending on what type center section you have will determine the weight oil. if you have a clutch style center I can't help you. if you have a spool, true track or a non-clutch carrier I would run 75w90 Non-Synthetic. as far as putting the oil in, there should be a fill hole on the side of the center section that you can use and it will take about 3 quarts, the fill hole should be on the driver side, it's kind of hard to get to and you will need an allen head socket and an extension.

That is your vent tube and VERY important. Just get a piece of vacuum line that's the correct size to tightly slide over the brass fitting and run it up and secure it to the underside of the car with a tie strap, make sure it does not kink up.

i appreciate it man. this thing has given me problems that i did not expect before. i bought the 3'' muffler clamps to use on the swaybar, but i can't get them to fit properly. i only have the back of the car jacked up on the jackstands and am wondering if they will fit better once i put the car on the ground, and compress everything. im thinking so. thanks again for the help buddy.
