im gonna do my front and rear in a week or so and i think im gonna give royal purpler a whirl. with the limited slip additive. most of my friends run that in there trucks (toyotas) kind of difference in the trucks but they seem to like it very well. hope this helps

I have heard a lot about royal purple, but like oregon said i think i would just run motorcraft again. Factory lubes seem to be pretty darn good. I almost forgot you need the additive if you have limited slip. Anyone else going to re-paint their diff covers while doing the fluid swap? Mine are rusty and I want to make em look good.

ya man! there is totally a break in period. take er easy man. 1st 30 miles no harsh acceloration, no high speeds, let it cool completely after 1st 30 consec miles. then after that, still no hard acceloration for the next 100 miles. still trying not to get it too hot. after that you can hot rod, but no towing for the 1st 500 miles till you change the fluid. 500miles is when you change the fluid. this is all according to yukon.
