+1 on the Royal Purple. If you're gonna spend that much money go with the best. Go to your local I forgot what weight I put in my diffs but you can go to your local Oreiley's OR Autozone and they will tell you exactly what weight you need.

I've always used Ford 75-140, and a bottle of friction modifier. Royal purple I hear is good stuff, however I have never used it

Oh yeah forgot about the friction modifier not a must but something that would reall make a new gear install a success.

Well I must have gotten lucky (which I'm sure I did). When I had 373's I didn't add friction modifier and had no issues. That's some good info man.

now if you use royal purple, do you have to get any friction modifier? because it says that no additives are needed.

I guess you could be right. When I installed the 373's the mechanic didn't ask for the friction modifier. When I installed the 410s (with a different mechanic he wouldn't install them unless I bought the friction modifier). I bought Royal Purple on both installs and with or without the friction modifier haven't had any issues.....
