New fluids
Ok. I'm gonna switch some of my fluids to synthetic tomorrow, and want to know what are the best brands and weights.
Front & Rear Diff
Transfer case
Power Steering
Also, I saw a post awhile back about flushing the power steering. I would like a link if any of you happen to have it on hand.

I would use the same ATF for the transfer case, P/S, and auto trans. The front diff is 75w-90 and the rear is 85w-140. I have used Mobil One synth ATF; and Super Tech Synth gear oil from Wally World in the diffs with good results.

You're right, Joe. I was thinking about the weight we use at work in our OTR trucks.

Does it have to be Motorcraft or will any do the job?

I looked all over to find a gasket and failed. Just went with the RTV sealant instead of wasting more time and money hunting one down. It was pretty easy to use. (my 1st time) Make sure you circle the bolt holes. No leaks for me!
