As I stated a few days ago, the 2007 owner's manual states 140 for the rear. It might be different for the 02's.

I don't have my owners manual handy, but the 03 shop manual says 75W-140 for the 9 1/4" diff and 75W-90 for the 11 1/2" diff. both synthetic and needing the additive for Trac-Lok.

P.S. Is your current Diff. a limited slip?

By asking this question, you should not even try to attempt to change your carrier yourself. You need special tools to even complete the job and looking at the pic says it all.
It's an open carrier, One wheel peel jobber!

I hope your not implying my diff is and open diff, because it IS an Limited slip. (not a 1 wheel peeler)
