Do not forget a new gasket. 75w-90 will be great and if your truck is like mine you will not need any additional additives if your lube has it in. Grab 3 quarts of whatever you choose.

new gasket? what if i used some "gasket maker"? the black stuff.
from my other post, about the annoying sound that my truck is making. im thinkin its comin from my rear diff? or axle bearings? but i just wasted the $165 on a front right hub that i thought the noise was comin from... THIS IS GETTING OLD FAST... and im goin to go ahead and get some new ujoints while im replacing stuff.... Wish Me Luck!!
and i think the noise is gettin worse?? how can i tell that the axle bearings are goin out? any suggestions? it they arent too expensive im goin to go ahead and slap them in.. now would be a good time to put some lower gears and a better locker or lsd.. Yea I Wish!!

The shop I took my truck to put in some Kendal 85w90, I have about 80 passes in the 1/4 mile on that, everything is good to go
