Red face Differential Gear Oil

Still trying to find out what weight gear oil to use when I change the fluid in the differentials - also in the transfer case. Any info would be appreciated.

The front should be 80w-90 gear lube and the rear 75w-140 synthetic. If you have a notion, you could run syntheic in both.

yeah if you have added power any where starting from the bumper back (looking on top of the truck), you would benefit from cooler temperatures/less friction and longer service life by upgrading to synthetic. as i change mine, it will go to synthetic. kwikkordead uses Redline 75W-140 in his, he praises it.
