Getting the Wheeling Fever
What kind of oil are we sticking in the rear dif? Front? The orange sticker inside my door indicates its an LSD?

You use a special oil for limited slip differentials, should be available almost everywhere where you can buy gear oil. You can also use standard gear oil and an additive for LSD diffs but the LSD oil is what I'd go for.

Ron, I've used Crappy Tire's hypoid gear oil in the last 4 trucks - it does say that its suitable for lsd's... you can buy friction modifier from the Dodge dealer for about $12 if you get any chattering from the rear using regular gear oil, but I've never had any trouble with the Crappy tire stuff.
