Has anyone ever seen damage caused to a differential from using too much fluid?
yesterday I did the rear diff on my jeep wrangler (dana 35) and I was doing it all on jacks with the rear up. well when i was filling the diff i let it fill till oil slowly oozed from the fill hole. well this was done with the jeep slanting forward. I wanted to drop it from the jacks and let the fluid drain when sitting level but it would have been a pain. Now I am thinking about it and second guessing. with the angle of the jeep when I filled it my guess would be the level is somewhere along the fill hole instead of right below it. Does anyone of you think this will cause a problem?
