The transmission requires straight 80w gear lube. The T-case requires Mercron type ATF. The diffs use hypoid gear lubricant, 80w90 should be sufficient. If you have limited slip diffs, add friction modifier as well. 8.8 inch require 4 ounces, 10.5 inch requires 8 ounces of the friction modifier. This is straight out of my Haynes manual.

Whoa! Don't put gear lube in your 5 speed tranny. It takes Mercon III ATF.

The four speeds do take gear lube, but you probably don't have one in your truck.
