First, please either start a new message or trim everything out of the old
one first. I (as well as many others) have our newsreader clients set to
threaded view, so if you don't do this your post may get lost.

If you've got a limited slip differential in the rear, (3.55 or 3.92 ratios)
you'll definately need to add a bottle of modifer to it that diff if you
didn't buy the oil with the mofifier in it already. AFAIK, all front
differentials that came stock on these trucks were open, so you shouldn't
need any up there, but it won't hurt anything if you've bought the oil with
it premixed already.

Axel = Axel Rose
Axle = what's under your truck
