I can only find them out of state and shipping kills it for me. __________________ I don't play well with others!

Royal purple from what i understand already has friction modifier in it. Oh and i was told 2 quarts fills it up but havnt checked it myself to be sure __________________ JLT RAI, MAC LT's, bassani o/r X, M55's , Eibach Pro-kit lowering springs, eiback front and rear sway bars, solid axle swap, 31spl strange axles, 31spl diff. 3.73 gears, Pro 5.0 shifter, MM Full Length Subframe Connectors

I found one on ebay an 8.8built with 11.65 disk brakes and cobra calipers. And what i needed to know was about the break fluid. The diff takes 75w-140 synthetic and its different for non synthetic oil is a different weight and viscosity
