Rear requires 75W140 full synthetic with friction modifier. Front takes standard 80W90. My LS was starting to chatter a bit, the drain, clean, and fill took care of that completely.

Cool. I wasn't looking forward to fooling with the RTV sealant on the rear differential. But how can I test/inspect the limited slip device to see if the clutches are worn out? The truck drives fine, so I don't think anything is worn out in the rear.
