I use Amsol synthetic in the tranny which is an auto, and Shell syn gear oil in the diff. I only have 40,000kms on them but they both seem to be performing just fine. I have used these oils in other vehicles also.

I am running MOBIL 1 synthetic ATF in my 4R100 and MAJESTIC gear oil in front and rear diffs. Definately consider the MAG HYTEC extra capacity/cooling covers for your truck!!

I run Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic ATF in my ZF6 and Motorcraft Full Synthetic 75W140 + Friction Modifier in my rear diff. I haven't done anything to my front diff yet.
