Yes. Correct!
8.8" Rear Diff - Ford - 2000 F150 4.6 V8
White, that's a nice piece of hardware !
Have you opened it up yet to see if the gears have ground into the diff cover yet ?
I doubt they have, looks identical to OEM of a 8.8" 10th Gen F150

Just got back from Ford dealership. Bought some extra drain plugs for transfer case, rear diff to have on hand. Got new plugs on my T case now.

Hey, heads up guys: Transfer Case Xl12 has long been phased out. Mercon LV is recommended in T cases now.
You can also use Valvoline "transfer Case Fluid" it specifically indicates for use in Ford XL12.

I ordered some "XL12" from Rock Auto, and I received LV. I don't want that in my t-case, so I used it in my Escape's 6F35.
Yep!

There was a point in time that Ford said not to use LV in the 4406/4407 Borg Warner cases. Then later on they say it's OK. It was supposedly reformulated, but I am still reluctant to use it. Valvoline made the XL12, as I recall, so I might try that next year when it's due again.
