Ok brakes done axle seals done bearings done pinion seal done just finished draining out the gear oil that looked like chocolate milk mixed with garlic mud. Next question is what grade grade oil as it is a limited slip. I do have 3 quarts of 75w90 conventional limited slip oil. Will it work or what's everyone running I've heard the Dana 70 recommends 80w90.
Sorry for not responding sooner to this, I never got the email notification that there was a new post to the thread. When I redid the bearings on our axle, I used Valvoline SynPower 75W140, which is what the Dodge dealership used in my '01 3500 Ram CTD. The motorhome adds a fair amount of weight to the chassis, so the axle needs all the protection it can get, especially if it's getting constant use. The downside is that it's $12.99/qt.
