Differential oil additive?

Hi everyone.

I am after some info for a F250 7.3L Turbo, 2003 model.

Changing the diff oils today, I'm using 75w140 GL-5 full synthetic (as required).

On other Ford high performance vehicles I have used an additive; Ford MOTORSPORT Friction Modifier M-19546-A

Can anyone tell me if this I can use this in the F250 LSD diff, back & front?

Also, what type of diffs do these F250's have?

Thanks in advance.

Your front diff is either a Dana 50, or 60 and takes non synthetic 75w-90. It also is an open differential.

The rear is a corporate 10.5" (Built in Sterling Mich., not Sterling Inc.). You can use the motorsport friction modifier or just abut any other. In fact, a year or so ago the local Ford dealers were recommending the mopar friction modifier as the Ford stuff was too slick. I chose to run mine without any modifier and it works a ton better. It's actually a limited slip now as opposed to the limited grip it was before.
