Chris, no there is not a separate plug to check the drop box fill your differential and it takes care of the drop box           have a great day

Chris, the plug is located on the drivers side of the drop box housing about half way up the casting. Trust me..it's misleading. It looks more like some sort of an adjustment gizmo but it's there. And the lubricant takes care of the ring & pinion as well as the wheel bearings so don't short it on GO 90.

Chris Bob is right mine does have a plug a 3/4 I fill my differential till the oil comes out it  Eagles and MCI 5 have the same drop box  if you ever have a problem Eagle boxes are easier to find . If the differential is full the drop box will be full also fwiw

Great question Chris, I've had my bus since 2000 and never thought of it!!!!!!! I would have thought Jerry would have pointed it out, but I guess I may have to demote him to bus hero #2
Remember, even at a Mensa convention someone is the dumbest person in the room!
