I salvaged the diffs from my old Exploder, which basically has the same rear as these trucks do in the front. The diff oil will leave the differential when the CV shaft is not in place.....I know this because I had to throw a pair of gloves and a shirt away when I got home.
I'm following this thread as well. My issues are a little thornier because of the Powerboost heat exchanger, which has led several exhaust shops to say "No thanks". My guess is that I'll have to have an exhaust custom made for the truck, likely 3" high flow Flowmaster cats and a 70 Series.

I just got this and will have it installed with the Torsen. The only off the shelf or semi-custom option that I've found with a drain plug. They also offer a fill plug, but...
I will point out that while changing your CV angles with a lift will absolutely shorten the lifespan of the CV shafts, it should not affect the differential itself. That said, I would strongly agree with leaving the suspension stock on a freaking Raptor- you paid a lot extra to get well...
I have a '21 F150 SCrew 4x4 Powerboost with a 3.73 E-Locker in the rear and the standard open diff in the front. I had an old Explorer before this truck with Eaton Truetracs front and rear, and found the road manners to be indistinguishable from the former open diff in front and much better...
I realize that was confusing, as I was trying to condense A LOT into an intro. I'll ask a far more detailed version of this on a different thread that's dedicated to it. I'll also try to share what I learn in case it's useful to folks here.
I found this forum while looking over front differentials for a new Powerboost. I live in East Texas, so I can get away with a truck that doesn't have the same trail or rock abilities as a Raptor in favor of something a little closer to a car (I have to drive long distances for work).
I really...
