    M1028A2 differential additive

    So, this is kind of a tricky one. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a bad idea, but it's a specific use case, really. Not to negate or insult your buddy's knowledge and experiences with this, just providing my own based off what I've done with my trucks. 75w-140 is a good recommendation for gear...

    M1028A2 differential additive

    Hell, I'd send it to you for free if you want it. If it goes to someone that can use it, that's all that matters to me. Sometimes you just gotta pay it forward.

    M1028A2 differential additive

    M1028A2 differential additive

    So, the LO does not really cover this, but your front Dana 60 differential is a limited slip diff with clutch plates in the carrier. Some modern age fluids have the specs covered for limited slip differentials, but not all of them do. Your rear axle/diff should be a detroit locker and thus does...
