I tried using the search feature but was left unsure. Getting ready to change diff fluids.
2019 2500 6.4 gasser 4x4 with anti spin. Planning on using the amsoil 75w-90 front, and still on fence of the 90 or 110 in rear.
I know the amsoil has modifiers already, but…. Should I add the amsoil slip lock as well?
Tow about 3800-9000 lbs every other weekend into the rolling hills of VT year round.

I'm about to do the same and it seems we may still need to add some modifier according to a few posts. I purchased the mopar modifier and the amsoil severe gear.

I would say add a bit. Or you can see if you have any chatter first then add some but you'll have to drain a bit out if you go that route.

I'm going to add a bit. YOLO

If you're towing that heavy through rolling hills,i'd seriously consider 75W-140 in the rear diff.It acts the same as 90 or 110 until the diff gets hot,then it provides a little more protection

I got 140 and I don't tow. Just haul. I would do 140 as advised by Wild one.

Better to have it and not need it than the reverse...
All you're wasting is a couple extra bucks and it's not going to hurt anything...
But Amsoil does claim it's not needed...
