I have been using the Shock proof for many years. It's great stuff. While I don't have it my Stang right now I have used it in a few different 4X4s and in two Harleys. You don't need to use any more friction modifier then normal. Never had a problem. Don't be scared of the pepto bismal color. It will look much worse when drained.

Let me add that I have been driving RWD vehicles for nearly 48 years (it will be 48 on Saturday, I got my first car when I was 14) and if the rear-end on a car/truck/whatever is noisy (by that I mean noisier than should be expected for the specific load range/gear design/etc) then the gears are either well-worn and due for replacement--or not adjusted properly.

We used to put sawdust in the gear oil (tranny's too) when trading in a car that had problems--works wonders...
haha Sorry I wish I could have had the opportunity! Its not out of the normal range but it is noticeable

Oh yeah it's about the longest lasting gear oil you will find.
