46-70152: The current exact primary listing covers 1997-2023 F-150 with Ford 9.75 rear axles, broader than the old 2011-2013 EcoBoost title. Its linked manual has older engine/year headings through 2021 and a questionable 2009 Raptor line; no new Raptor year or engine approval is inferred from that line. Both sources explicitly exclude Lightning and models with rear sway bars; the manual also excludes Harley-Davidson. Existing E-series, Excursion, Expedition and earlier F-250 rows have exact-part retailer evidence but require actual axle, rear-sway-bar and clearance confirmation. Those broader rows are preserved as qualified source holds, not certified from the F-150 headline. No new van/SUV or Lightning/Harley-Davidson rows are added.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer Part Number | 46-70152 |
| Position / axle | Rear / Ford 9.75 - 12 bolt |
| Construction / finish | Cast aluminum with reinforcing ribs, cooling fins, black powder-coating and machined fins. |
| Fill and sight glass | 3/4-inch NPT magnetic drain plug, two 1/8-inch NPT plugs, 3/4-inch NPT magnetic fill plug with a 6-inch reach and 1-inch NPT sight glass |
| Oil level | Fill through the top port until oil runs from the side 1/8-inch calibration opening, about 4 quarts in the exact manual. Some retailer descriptions claim 5 quarts; follow the calibrated level and actual axle oil/additive requirement. Verify the proper level if a lift has rotated the axle. |
| Tightening | The exact manual specifies 11-14 ft-lb for the cover mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern. Its drain is NPT, not M12; use the specified pipe sealant. The manual gives no numerical drain torque or NPT turn count, so do not borrow the other Ford cover's 12-16, 20-22 or 25-30 ft-lb values. |

Which applications and axle must be checked?The current exact primary listing covers 1997-2023 F-150 with Ford 9.75 rear axles, broader than the old 2011-2013 EcoBoost title. Its linked manual has older engine/year headings through 2021 and a questionable 2009 Raptor line; no new Raptor year or engine approval is inferred from that line. Both sources explicitly exclude Lightning and models with rear sway bars; the manual also excludes Harley-Davidson. Existing E-series, Excursion, Expedition and earlier F-250 rows have exact-part retailer evidence but require actual axle, rear-sway-bar and clearance confirmation. Those broader rows are preserved as qualified source holds, not certified from the F-150 headline. No new van/SUV or Lightning/Harley-Davidson rows are added.
Which plugs and sight glass are included?3/4-inch npt magnetic drain plug, two 1/8-inch npt plugs, 3/4-inch npt magnetic fill plug with a 6-inch reach and 1-inch npt sight glass. The black version's sight glass and 6-inch magnetic fill plug are included and installed with pipe sealant as directed. The plain 1-inch and 3/4-inch plugs belong to the separate raw 46-70150 branch.
Which mounting hardware is supplied?One black cover 05-60237, twelve 5/16-18 x 1-inch socket-head screws, fifteen flat washers, three brackets, three 12-inch zip ties, RTV silicone, 3/4-inch magnetic drain plug, two 1/8-inch plugs, 3/4-inch 6-inch magnetic fill plug and 1-inch sight glass. This is not the newer M12-drain, 1/2-inch-fill design.
Does the cover include a gasket and gear oil?Gear oil, axle additive, filters, couplers and tools are not established as included. The exact manual supplies RTV and allows a reusable OEM gasket instead where the original cover uses one. No new flat gasket is established in the bill of materials. It gives no numerical RTV cure interval.
How is the oil level set?Fill through the top port until oil runs from the side 1/8-inch calibration opening, about 4 quarts in the exact manual. Some retailer descriptions claim 5 quarts; follow the calibrated level and actual axle oil/additive requirement. Verify the proper level if a lift has rotated the axle.
Which tightening values apply?The exact manual specifies 11-14 ft-lb for the cover mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern. Its drain is NPT, not M12; use the specified pipe sealant. The manual gives no numerical drain torque or NPT turn count, so do not borrow the other Ford cover's 12-16, 20-22 or 25-30 ft-lb values.
What access and installation steps matter?Block the tires on a flat dry surface and position a drain pan. Retain upper cover hardware while draining, then remove the cover. Clean and inspect the flat sealing face without gouging or rounding it. The exact manual supplies RTV and allows a reusable OEM gasket instead where the original cover uses one. No new flat gasket is established in the bill of materials. It gives no numerical RTV cure interval. Retain any brackets and ABS wiring removed from the cover. Where applicable, install the three supplied brackets under cover screws/washers and use the zip ties to restore the ABS wiring. Refit original brackets and check spare-tire heat-shield clearance; the manual permits bending that shield where needed. Install the appropriate hardware, fill by the specified level opening and inspect clearance and leaks. Follow the exact supplied revision.
