Yep, thats an 8.25. You can tell by the fact the the housing is flat at the top and bottom as opposed to the D35 which is rounded all the way around. And if it were the D35, the fill plug would have the Dana logo on it.

Those rubber butt plugs tend to harden and crack after a few years. Get several next time you go in to the dealer to get ones to replace what you have.

They went to those because they're cheap - but give be a brass 1/2"NPT pipe plug any day!
