    Does anyone know if using 90 presents any kind of issue in the front or rear diff? 75W-85 is what is specifically called out in the owners manual, but I just went to both Napa as well an Oreilly's and neither place said the have ever seen 85 before???

    Excellent. I figured as much, but figured I would pulse the crowd to be sure. Thanks!

    I’m running the heavier weight in the t-case ‘cause ECGS recommends it. I run it in the boxes mainly because I exceed payload quite a bit hauling my camper in the bed and do some towing with that sumbitch in there as well.

    Although I've never seen ECGS suggestions for heavier weight. Re-gear?

    Auto store counter help have never seen 75W-85 gear oil? That's interesting. I use 75W-85 GL-5 gear oil in my differentials as specified in owners manual. Redline products is what I use (expensive). From reading TW forums majority here use 75W-90 with no issues. Your truck your call.
