Can I run w/ 75w-90 in my rear diff?

I know the manual says 80w-90, but I don't have any. Can I get away with running with my Amsoil 75w-90? How many of you have put 75w-90 in your diffs? Thanks!

That's what I run in mine. I was told that 75-90 replaced 80-90 a few years ago.

i believe mine says to run straight 90w but then again it also says to use NON-alcohol antifreeze, and shows how to properly remove the hubcaps when changing a tire

gotta love my quarter century old rig
