Question 1:
I’ve searched the forum extensively and I could not make a determination what is an acceptable substitute for GAA. No local automotive shops or Walmart carry anything that has the GAA mil-spec number. So what is acceptable to use as an alternative? What do you guys use?
Question 2:
I’m looking at chaining the fluid in the transmission, transfer case, and all the differentials. No one sells GL-1 (locally) off the shelf, I could possible order some, but from what I read on the forum GL-5 with an MT-1 rating is an acceptable replacement for GL-1? Is that right or am I totally out to lunch? I’d like to use something readily accessible without having to store pails, but don’t want to screw anything up by not using the right lube.
I’d rather look stupid for asking the question than to look stupid when I use the wrong stuff and screw up my truck.
