Front Diff Cover Fill Plug Size

[ospreyfe55]

So the last time time the dealer replaced the front axle seals they fubared my front fill plug. I’m going to have to drill or chisel it out! I am trying to find the thread size so I can get a replacement. Lots of websites have conflicting information as to what the proper plug is. Anyone know what size/thread type is or have an extra they want to let go of?

Take it back to the dealer and have them deal with it if they touch it last.

It's a 3/4"-14 NPT plug.

Well it’s been about 6 months since I had it at the dealer and now out of warranty. It would also be a finger pointing on who did what. Plus it’s a few weeks to even get it into the dealer. This mess up is the reason I do my own work, but since they covered the seal replacement it was easier to have them do it.

Thank you, I should be able to pick this up at ACE hardware. Fun part will be getting to old one out!

Look at when they switch the cover. I would definitely point the finger at them. That's a fluid people don't check or mess with, pretty easy to point on that one.

Very true. I’ll look at when they have an opening.

Time for an upgrade!
