Ford 9" rear end
 

I just bought a new car and it has a braced ford 9". I would like to know how much rear end dope goes in? Three quarts or ? Thanks

Just fill it to the bottom of the fill plug. When it starts leaking from the fill plug, it is full.

2qts

Thanks hammertime!

Have you been smoking something!?

he is not smoking anything--it is how you fill a 9 inch rearend and lots of others also!!

Lively...thanks. But I must be missunderstanding something. If I fill my 9" up to the top of the fill plug ( located on top of the housing ) that would create a LOT of pressure and most likely spit out all over the place...

The fill plug should be on the side of the housing a little higher than the level of the pinion gear. It sounds like you are looking at the pressure vent on the top of the housing.

It's probably a race prepped housing with a fill cap welded on the top and sealed axle bearings. 2 quarts would be plenty.

me did not understand what housing you had :oops: :oops:
