Mobil 1 75w-90 in the front and 75w-140 in the rear on my factory 4x4 9.25 axle 3.92 gears with stock lsd. No additional additive neaded for the lsd with the Mobil 1 75w-140 in the rear.

 

I can't find a five gallon bucket of decent GL-5, 80w-90, LSD compliant here in NE Tennessee. I ended up getting a 5 gal bucket of "Coastal" brand GL-5. 80W-90 for the 62 Military Power Wagon, and 2.5 bucket of "house brand" gear lube, gl-5, 80W-90 and LSD for a little less than $10/gallon for just about everything else, aside from the Town Wagon transmission and steering boxes, and the rear end of my 07 Ram 1500ST. Wish it was limited slip. I need to go find my local oil and lube distributor and have them order me what I want.

 

anyone run the schaeffer's oil in their gears?

 

have a 1500 Mega Cab. I often get sold the wrong parts as it is a 1500 but all components seem to be 2500. Should I run 75-90 weight without the additive as stated for the 2500's? I'm looking at using Royal Purple.
thanks

one stop shop. Just bought my ram last month, next oil change everythings getting swapped out for redline. Cheap insurance is how i look at it.

Redlines proven brand in my books. After three years of auto x, hard driven miles on the back twisties, spirited driving around town, the little 2zz-ge engine still has no knocks, good compression and transmissions still shifting smooth as ever. So the rams getting the same brand oil.

 

Lucas severe in the ram, But you could always have to use 600 Weight like in my 31 ford AA Truck. Yes 600W is required fill and takes forever to drain and refill. You have to drive the truck, pull the plug and let drain, preheat the oil in a can on the stove to install it eaiser.

 

Mobile 1. Front & rear ... completed as of this evening.

 

Mobil 1; front 75-90, rear 75-140.

 

On the topic of changing the fluid in the front and rear diffs,, how is everybody doing it?

On my 01' Ram, i had Mag-Hytec covers front and rear which had drain plugs and made it simple. But i really don't have $500.00 to plunk down for new front and rear diff covers from them for my 06'.

So i did the last change using an air powered suction gun through the fill port. Obviously this is much easier, cheaper (no gasket) and faster. But what is everybodies take on how often you should actually yank the covers? I have no LSD and no leaks. Any reason to pull covers ever?

As i mentioned in another thread, i never tow, go off road or abuse the truck in any way. Mostly all highway travel.

 

I had the retaining clips slip out of position and they ground a bad groove in the main caps. And had to replace the carrier and one of the main caps. Not to mention all of the seals, races and bearings. That hurt the back pocket
