RE: Gear Lube
If you can't find Red Line - I used Mobil 1 75W 90. If you have a limited slip rear end, Auto Zone has some "friction additive" in a tube (I can't remember the name of it) that is on the shelf next to the gear lube. I heard you didn't need it with Mobil 1, but I put a tube in anyway. You will also need some red gasket sealer to form a new gasket on the rearend covers. Don't waste your time looking for a gasket like I did....there isn't one. Just use red gasket sealer.

RE: Gear Lube
Hey Steve00, I still have 35,000 miles on the 6 yr 100,000 powertrain warranty I got when I bought the truck new after 9-11. I figure Dodge will get to rebuild it one more time at least. I would like to look into a shift kit, but I don't want to void the warranty. I put a cooler on it, maybe that will help. Thanks for the link!
