Try pulling the lowest bolt for the tail housing.....IIRC, the hole goes through the main case). Jack er up as posted above, & just let it drip overnite. refilll,(you will find a plug on the pass side,about 1/2way up the maincase). It just needs to be @ the bottom edge of the threads ,with the truck back down on the wheels......or slightly dripping out the hole as stated above. crazyL

You could get a siphon pump at the auto parts store and pump it out too. Threw the fill hole.

That isn't such a good idea... it'll leave most of the crap laying in the bottom to contaminate the fresh oil that gets dumped in.
