Most of my Power Module I've been working on is now in place and it's time to add fluids.
I purchased a new 3.70'limited slip Diff from Applied. Jim did tell me what I needed to fill it, but now I want to be sure I remember correctly. [I have a mind like a steel trap - "Rusted Shut" (grin) ] it's interesting that with my search of the many discussions on the upgraded diffs, the actual lube oil was not identified.
This a fresh new unit and it will need breaking in and I will need to keep warrantee specs satisfied. I believe that I should fill it with extreme pressure 80W-90 gear oil with no additives for the limited slip. Then drain after 3000 miles. I also understand that the refill should be with synthetic 80W-90 and no additives.
Looking for (at least) a few confirmations or corrections from those of you who have one yourself please.
I love the discussions and differences of opinions Because they are generally informative as well. Therefore, if you have anything to add to the discussion- Go For It
Thanks
