Re: Differential Lubricant
I disagree. The rubicon also has a limited slip in the rear. Barring
any special need due to the lockers (I can't speak yes or no to that),
it is likely the limited slip may require a special additive, much
like my rear D44 w/limited slip does. It may not, since it uses a
different kind of limited slip (no clutch packs?) than mine, but I
would want some definitive answers on that before just throwing
regular gear oil in there and calling it done.

Re: Differential Lubricant
Hi Bob,
Except, the only reason for the friction modifier is to make the
disks slip, and as you have said there are none:
http://www.----------.com/TruLok.jpg I'm waiting with baited breath for
JD's response from his owner's manual. My Factory Service Manual for '03
only asks for it in the Trac-Loc:
http://www.----------.com/lubeschedule.pdf I says nothing about the
Tru-Lok explained further in the book with no reference to fluid.

Re: Differential Lubricant
The Rubi's rear limited slip differential is gear-based, not clutch-based,
so it has no need for the friction modifier needed for clutch-based LSDs
like the Tracloc.
