correct way to change 10bolt diff. fuild w/ TA girdle
I'm confussed on the correct way to change 10bolt diff. fuild w/ TA girdle.
1.which fill hole should be used the TA fill hole which is much higher than the side GM hole allowing more fuild?
2.if the TA fill hole is used should the GM fill hole plug be removed and only fill till it comes out the GM hole?
3.or should the TA fill hole be used and pump fuild in intill it comes out of TA fill hole?
4.should teflon tape be used on either fill plug and the TA drain plug?
5.doe's the car have to be completely level for all the fuild to drain out of the diff.though the TA drain hole, I have it on the ramps so would it be better to jack up the front to level the car out?
6.I have 2 quarts 32OZs plus about 10 OZs from last fuild change total 42OZs hopping this will be enought.
edit I have been told you don't want the fluid to be above the load bolts (bearing support stands) in the middle of the cover only because oil can work its way around the threads and eventually leak. so I'm confussed where the TA fill hole is so high way above the bearing surport lpad bolts.
Thanks for any helpfull advice

Level the car. Fill until fluid comes out the GM hole in the side of the housing. Use teflon tape on the drain plug. It takes just less than 2 qts plus 4oz of GM or Ford friction modifier. If you have a Torsen posi unit I guess you could do without the friction modifier.
