Sterling 10.5 Gear Oil Change (Superduty Trucks)

As with all routine maintenance you have to keep up with it. Although differential oil changes aren't something you need to do frequently, you SHOULD do them at intervals to maintain the strength and reliability of your differentials. Everything that requires oil or grease also requires that lubricant be changed! Here I detail the simple task of draining, resealing and filling your Sterling 10.5 Rear Differential commonly found in Superduty trucks.

Thanks, I'm about to do my 1997 F250.

My 2011 6.7l powerstroke manual says that the sterling 10.5 rear diff has lifetime synthetic fluid that doesn't need changing. Another thing I heard a Ford tech say, if it has a electric locking rear diff there's no need for limit slip additive.🤷‍♂️

Apples and oranges compared to this differential.

Hey quick question, did you notice a difference in your suspension when you changed your shocks? I know you have a lift, but my shocks are shut, and I don't know if I'm gonna notice a huge difference once I update them. The suspension in this trucks is so stiff to begin with.

[@USAF99]

So, shocks are a pretty important part of suspension geometry and maintaining control of the truck over bumpy terrain. While you have stiff suspension or the feel of it using the seat of your pants, its still doing a lot of things under the truck. The quicker you can get your suspension back to normal after upsetting it, the better.
