Yup...definitely need the friction modifier. (Even the Redline stuff
requires it - they make it in a small bottle). Preferably, use the Mopar
additive.

you'll need 2 quarts of 75w90 in the back, and even if you use synthetic,
you will need friction modifier. get a little bottle and add that stuff in.

That's OK, I don't expect everyone to memorize every truck. Went to start
collecting things and here's what I found:
T-case: ATF+4. Dealer trip. Yay.
Tranny: The book says that I shouldn't have to change the fluid? That
doesn't seem right to me. Takes Mopar Manual Transmission Lube. What can I
get that isn't from Mopar that meets spec? Some people are running Redline?
Gear oil: Mobil 1 75w90 is $7/quart. How much do I need? I thought it was
in the FAQ but I can't find it. Please corect me if I am wrong in assuming
that I do *not* need the friction modifier if I use Mobil 1 synthetic.
