Question Oil Weights for Trans and Diff???
What Oil weights are you all using for the Trans and the Diff? I'm going to be changing mine out here in a week or two with RP but I'm just trying to get an idea of what to use. Right now i'm going with MT-90 for the Trans and 75w90 for the Diff let me know if it should be anything different.

If your choice is RP, then you use Max Gear 75W90 in both the trans and diff - need about 5 quarts total for both.

I just did it today with 4 quarts. Actual usage was about 3.6. Manual specifies 3.2

Used RP Max-Gear 75w-90, as above. Good results.
