Whats in your differential?

Well with all the talk about the rear diffs on the new trucks being low I just had to take a look for myself and guess what- mine was 3 pints low <br>Now I suppose that DC put the fill whole in the wrong location making it now 3 pints over full or the factory machine is short changing the diffs. For now I will run it up to the fill hole. <br><br>So whats in your differential?<br>

Rear end holds about twice as much GL-5 as front end.
