    Gear oil choices for 3.92 LSD

    Thanks for that. I used the MOPAR and added the MOPAR limited slip additive, I just don't know if I got enough in there. I measured out 5 oz but had to put it in one of the larger MOPAR bottles and then pumped it in. After I topped off, I noticed there was still maybe a couple of oz of mixed...

    Gear oil choices for 3.92 LSD

    What's the downside if there is not enough MOPAR friction additive in the rear diff with limited slip. In other words, if I didn't get a full 5oz of the friction additive in the rear fluid, what will happen?

    Valvoline 75W-90 full synthetic differential oil

    I just noticed the Valvoline synthetic 75w90 I bought for the front diff already has limited slip additive. Is it ok to use that in the front diff?

    Valvoline 75W-90 full synthetic differential oil

    I just noticed the Valvoline 75W90 gear oil I got for the front diff has Limited slip additive in it. Is that going to be an issue for the front differential?

    Fluids Change Time (Transfer, Differential, Transmission)

    So, from the answers I got, it appears just a filter and replace fluid is ok and avoid a flush. That being the case, how often do I need to do that? If I want a complete flush, I need to make sure the shop doesn't use a separate pressure pump to do it. Is that right? The pricing I've got...

    Fluids Change Time (Transfer, Differential, Transmission)

    Question: I was going to take my Ram into a ASE certified mechanic I use and he told me he would need to flush the transmission to get the fluid out of the torque converter. Is that not the case? Asking because you said not to flush the tranny. Thanks.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Ok, thanks for the reply. I'll get the Redline. I use 4wd a lot since we live in the mountains and have snow frequently. Also, I use auto 4wd to come up our driveway, even if there is no snow because of the steep incline.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I see you use Redline MT-LV 70W/75W GL-4 for your transfer case. Is your transfer case a 48-11 with 4wd auto? Any issues cause I'm getting ready to do my first transfer case fluid change? Thanks.

    Gear oil choices for 3.92 LSD

    by the way, we tow a 5800# travel trailer quite a bit, likely 50% of the time, and I have the 3.92 rear axle

    Gear oil choices for 3.92 LSD

    So, thinking about using the MOPAR 75w140 with MOPAR friction modifier in the rear axle since I have LS and the Valvoline 75w90 in the front axle. It would be my first change at 57000 miles and looking at the space for the front axle, getting a bottle positioned in there seems a bit dicy where...

    High mileage synthetic oi

    I mistakenly bought "high mileage" full synthetic oil instead of just the full synthetic oil. My 2019 5.7 has about 52,600 miles on it. Just wondering if I should return/exchange for the regular full synthetic oil or just use the "high mileage" oil? I still have 41% oil life on the last...

    2023 Ram 1500 Limited towing

    That's good to know. I don't have any sway due to the Andersen WDH. My wife is uncomfortable with the squat of the already low profile tires. So, if I bring the tires up to 51psi while towing, it won't be an issue when the tires get hot and the psi rises?

    2023 Ram 1500 Limited towing

    So, I have a question about tire psi when loaded. I have the 285/45r22LX which call for 36psi cold and maximum 51psi). I'm close to capacity on cargo when towing our travel trailer which has a tongue weight of about 800 lbs (my particular truck has a cargo capacity of 1385 lbs). My question...
