My credo
"220, 221, whatever it takes."
As adsm08 said, it's on the housing and not the cover. FWIW if you can find a junkyard that will part with one separate from the axle, the cover on an '02-up Explorer IRS has fill and drain plugs and will bolt right on if you grind off the IRS mounting ears on each side.

My credo
I poop in the furnace.
+3 will have a female square drive head on it.

Transmissions are something I hate not having a drain bolt on but besides the ability to drain the fluid slightly cleaner the cover should still always be removed on a diff whether it has a drain or not. There's no filter in there! Always good to clean anything out especially in a LS where clutch material slowly wears. :icon_thumby:
