Austin, I'd stick to the Mopar Hypoid friction Modifier!! It's cheap enough,
like 3 or 4 bucks!!
Should need about 2 quarts of Lube, but since you have to pull the diff.
cover off, you may need a little more than that, so buy 3 quarts and return
one if needed. I used the Mobil 1 synthetic lube I think its 85w 90??? Not
sure though, It was the only weight Autozone had in stock!!
One little trick I did was buy a fluid pump for a 3/8" drill and some rubber
hose from Home Depot. Connected the hoses to each end of the pump, chucked
it in a drill, put the intake hose down in the filler plug, and the
discharge end into a empty milk jug. Started the drill (after priming it)
and in about a minute all the fluid was out of the rear and I didn't have to
break the factory seal on the diff. cover!! worked great, better yet it was
an absolutely clean job, no mess, and I was able to measure how much fluid I
removed so I could add the right amount back in!!!
Make changing the gear lube real easy, pump and hose ran about 10 bucks, and
you can reuse it!!

Subject: DML: Open to LSD diff conversion, need advice on fluids!!
Ok I'm about to tackle this tonight after an entire week of itching for the
traction! I'm going to go to pep boys to go pick up the fluid I'll need.
What
kind should I use, and how much of it will I need?? I don't have the book
with me (they need to make a wallet-sized edition of the service manual).
And
that friction modifier, do I HAVE TO go to the dealer to get it?? I gotta
drive 20 minutes to get there, and I'm trying to do this on my lunch break.
Any 3rd vendors with good products that I can buy off the shelf?? Thanx
guys!!
