Front/Rear Differential Fluids?

[busa2009]

im wanting to change my front and rear differential with amsoil and was wondering what is the spec on the fluids?
front 75W85 GL5
rear 75W90 GL5
Im hearing it goes by your gearing ratio Is there any service manuals on this in this site if so where

Yeah, weights are listed in the manual. Front is correct(80W90 is not going to make a darn bit of difference except slightly in MPG), rear could be 75W140 if you have the 3.92 gear ratio.
Mopar has a slip lock additive that may be required if you have the factory limited slip, you may or may not need it as some diff fluids already have the friction modifier to some extent. You can try without it first and if you notice that the LSD is grabby and chirping on dry pavement then you can add the slip lock.

You're already an AMSOIL customer?

No it will def be my first time using amsoil my uncle was telling me what he runs. So your saying I just need to make sure on my gearing and if I have 3.9 gears I need to go with 75w140

You don't need to, just if you tow often or heavy.

It seems people with 392s like to go to them truck pulls and hook up. In which case 140w would offer more protection than 90w, or you could compromise with 120w.

nope nothing so far but what's weird they so don't change it unless you tow sure looked dirty to me and even may emulsified I will change again on next oil change to see what the fluids look like

I have the 392 gears on my rebel Do I need the friction modifier if I only have the e locker

If you have the 3.92 with e-locker then no friction modifier needed.

My Amsoil with about 48k miles on it looked so much worse than yours. I sent it in for analysis and it got a glowing report. The factory fill dumped at 50k looked a little nicer than yours.

Mine developed a little deceleration noise at 62 mph around 50k. It got a little worse over the last 50k so this time I used 75/140 and it’s very quiet except after long towing highway runs (still much quieter). Hoping to prolong the life (nothing besides the noise seems amiss really).

It's okay to ask on here, but definitely check the owners manual that came with your truck (or is easily available to download online). This is what is in the manual for my truck, so when I replaced the differential & transfer case fluids I knew exactly what Ram recommended for my specific machine:
