I have posted a few threads lately about Gear Oil lube specs, just changed from Mobil1 80W90 to Motocraft Synthetic 75W140, then it came, the brainstorm.
I am going by manual for my 97, but the new axles are from a 99, can someone look in their 99 owners manual and look up the recommended lube for a 4.0 EFI OHV and 3.73 for me? I would greatly appreciate it.
On mine it is stated in footnote 3
"Vehicles equipped with 4.0L SOHC or 4.0L EFI engines and 3.73 or 4.10 rear axle ratios or 5.0L engines require synthetic rear axle lubricant"
Thanks again,
Kurt
