It's not hard at all. Grab a tube of black (or Ultra-Copper)
RTV...prefer the Mopar Axle RTV (made for it) and some 75w90 gear oil.
Add one bottle of the Mopar Differential Additive.
Remove all of the bolts and drain the fluid - then, clean off the diff
cover and reinstall with a bead of RTV around the cover. (Do NOT get
any RTV in the bolt holes on the diff though.)

Subject: DML: changing differential fluid
There has been some talk lately about differential fluid, my question
is: How hard is it to change diff fluid and all that jazz. I have
noticed a small leak under my truck recently that i think is coming from
the differential (must have hit something i guess) but i still need to
verify that, but it probably needs it anyways, (50,000 miles). Is this
as easy (relatively speaking) as changing the oil and the like? What is
the consensus about what gear oil to use?
