Which diff do you have in the rear of the truck? The limited slip takes designated limited slip fluid or a limited slip additive. Double check before you do.

The Owners Manual will tell you what type you need.

I did forget to mention, if it is a limited slip, it will have a label on the rear diff right next to the fill plug. Otherwise, it will be whatever flavor of 75w-90 you prefer.
