d35 dumb question

[88broncoll]

Yes its kind of dumb. but a hard one to get a straight answer on. Ive searched the fourms, and even checked out a Toyota site, only cause it had the same question.

So i just installed a set of manual hubs on my ol exploder.. and figured id check the diff oil. Needs a change. Research what type of oil. 90w. Noone has any. even the ford dealer.

Also, does a 92 exploder have tracloc? do i need friction modifier? the guy at Ford said i did( same guy who doesnt have any 90w)

What are you guys putting in your front diff? yoda guys are puttin 80w90. Some ranger guys are putting 80w90 with no mention of friction modifier.

Just want to get the right stuff. Any help or wise cracks will be appreciated.

80 90 gear oil will work just fine. The only axle on your explorer that will have the trac-loc is the rear. Unless the person before you installed it on the front.

80W-90 is perfectly fine.
Friction modifier is only needed if you have a limited slip diff (NO D35s came with L/S, they only came in the rear). Check your door sticker or the tag on the diff cover to find out if your truck has a limited slip.

Edit: too slow
