Haha well I guess we will see what happens tomorrow...I am out in western Oklahoma at the moment or im sure the Stillwater dealers would have some of the regular stuff, but all we have around here is a smalltown Chebby dealer and I'm kinda thinking he won't have anything and if he does, then im sure the price will be through the roof..but i might be pleasantly suprised!

Welp, went to the chebby dealer today and they didn't have any Syntorq. The parts manager said that they don't stock it because its to darned expensive! He told me that they go to the local part's store and get an equivalent 75W synthetic oil that works just as good so I went down there and got a couple quarts of the stuff!... Don't remember what it is called at the moment, but it isn't a normal brand name i've heard of. It was $40ish for a two quart bottle! Drove 180 miles today with no problems or noticable differences so I guess we will see how it lasts! If anyone really wants to know what its called, just let me know!

I'm running a cocktail blend of stuff in my tranny with good results, but it's a 5600.

Redline stuff seems to work well in these trucks. Try the MT-90 if you decide on Redline.
