I changed the lube in rear differential on our 2019 Ranger today. One thing I found was the drain plug and fill plug on the rear differential weren't tight?

Then I checked the front differential: the drain plug was tight, but the fill plug wasn't?

The argument could be made that they are pipe threads and that "tight" is just my personal opinion. But fact is... they weren't all tightened from the factory the same amount.

I'd suggest checking the fill / drain plugs on your front and rear differential. Snug them up.
