Limited Slip Differential Fluid?
Got a question for you fella's. It's my understanding that the "Limited Slip Differential Fluid" is going for 18.00 per 4 fl oz.
Now, i try my best to make sure that my Ram gets all of the right fluids, but the way the economy is right now, if i can save a couple of bucks, and still purchase a quality fluid, i will do it.
Is this the only " Limited Slip Differential Fluid" we can use in our trucks? Can it purchased cheaper?
One other question. Is all Limited Slip Differential Fluids the same?

My manual says 4oz....get a new manual. Mine's an 04, I don't imagine it's different. Buy the Mopar junk, or drop the coin for some Royal Purple or Amsoil.
Link to d/l new manual....pg 351 is where I am looking.

Well, according to the shop manual, it must be synthetic, 75w-140 rear, 75w-90 front. LSD additive (four ounces if at stock capacity). When you pop the cover, make sure the c-clips are not floating around. Hopefully, they're in the bottom of the pumpkin, out of the way. If so, MAKE SURE you get all the parts out. If they're still in the clutch packs, you may need to remove them so they don't cost you $$$ later.
