Lubricant Selection
Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, And Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
NOTE: The presence of water in the gear lubricant will
result in corrosion and possible failure of differential
components. Operation of the vehicle in water, as may be
encountered in some off-highway types of service, will
require draining and refilling the axle to avoid damage.
Limited-Slip Differentials
1500 Model rear axles equipped with a Limited Slip Differ-
ential require that 5 oz. (148 ml) MOPAR Limited Slip
Additive be added to the gear lubricant. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants, And Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information. The MOPAR Limited Slip
Additive should be added to the gear lubricant whenever a
fluid change is made to an axle equipped with a Limited Slip
Differential.
2500/3500 Model axles DO NOT REQUIRE any limited
slip oil additive (friction modifiers).
NOTE: When refilling an axle with a Limited Slip Differ-
ential, (which requires a Limited Slip Additive), the
Limited Slip Additive should be added before the gear
lubricant is added to insure proper additive fill.
