I'm sure the answer to this is on here somewhere but I havent found it. What is the front and rear differential gear oil weight recommendations. I was wanting to put royal purple max gear in it but dont know the weight to use.

Front 80-90w rear 75-140 synthetic. Both diff covers must be removed to drain and the fronts not fun.

I use Amsoil and added the bigger rear diff cover. It has a drain plug, dipstick, finned and holds 2 more quarts.

Interesting. Could you tell us a little more about the rear cover mods
you have done.

Basted on the brief discription you gave, it's like waving a bone in front
of my dog. He want more and so do I.

Thank for any information provided. Look forward to your reply
