There is a plug on TOP of the differential, it will take a 1/2" drive rachet to loosen.
With the truck on level ground remove the FILL plug, stick your finger straight into the hole, if it gets wet, you are fine, if not you need to add gear lube.
Check both diffs the same way.
This is also how you check the transfer case fluid level as well.

If your figner ain't wet she ain't ready to be driven.
