I'm using Mobile One 80w-90 GL-5 lubricants for the last 190K miles with zero issues... Change fluids every 30K.

DESCRIPTION
A multi-purpose, hypoid gear lubricant which conforms to the following specifications should be used. Mopar Hypoid Gear Lubricant conforms to all of
these specifications. SAE ratings also apply to multiple grade gear lubricants. In addition, API classification defines the lubricants usage.

FRONT AXLE
² The lubricant should have MIL-L-2105C and API GL 5 quality specifications.
² Lubricant is SAE 75W-140 SYNTHETIC gear lubricant.

REAR AXLE
² The lubricant should have MIL-L-2105C and API GL 5 quality specifications.
² Lubricant is a thermally stable SAE 80W-90 gear lubricant.
² Lubricant for axles intended for heavy-duty or trailer tow use is SAE 75W-140 SYNTHETIC gear lubricant.

NOTE: Trac-lokY and Vari-lokY equipped axles require a friction modifier be added to the lubricant.

CAUTION: If axle is submerged in water, lubricant must be replaced immediately to avoid possible premature axle failure.

That works too. I like to have mine in book form so I can drag it out no matter were I'm. I have had to use mine in the middle of the desert 70 miles or more from anything were a cellphone was only good for throwing.

That's a rather large book at over 2,900+ pages if I remember correctly. I hardly doubt you keep that big arse book in the truck...

I'm also living in a area where a cellphone is worthless too. Home is just over the second ridge...

Hello, I have a related question... I just bought a 2004 Quad Cab wit 206,624 miles on it. It needs lots of TLC. I think I will change the Differential fluid front and back. My Son sings praises about Lucas products, may go with those. I still have to figure out if I have a Limited slip or not. Any advice on that would be great. I decoded the VIN..Its not there. I also am wondering how much fluid I might need to buy to do the job.

Hmmm... I think it going to be right around 1 gallon for the rear diff. at least my 02 Dodge is...
