If you use the Mobil1 75w-90 gear lube you may have to add the modifier afterwards.
If you use the AMSOIL Series 2000 75w-90 I know you will not need to add it.

Dr. D,
Thank you and I would like to add this just in case LSett considers Amsoil.
LSett,
Amsoil Series 2000 is latest introduction from Amsoil offering a higher level of performance vs. Amsoil's regular gear lube. They start with a different base stock with a special additives package. Amsoil could have discontinued the regular gear lube but contine to carry it due to its popularity.
A lot of people ask: 75w-90 or 75w-140 ? Personally I would use the synthetic 75w-90 since synthetic 75w-90 will perform above and beyond the recommended petroleum 75w-90.
I have Freightliner customers driving Class 8 Tractor Trailor Trucks using 75w-90 synthetic gear lube in their difs. Tuff enough for them ... Tuff enough for me.
AMSOIL PRICING (current as of July 2002)
Series 2000 75w-90 $9.20 Qt. / 75w-140 $12.05 Qt. retail.(preferred customer $7.20 / $9.35 respectively). You can become a preferred customer for $20 per year ($10 for a 6 month trial) and receive up to 25% off retail pricing.
I "believe" that GM charges over $13.00 for a quart for Goodwrench Synthetic 75w-90 GL-5 gear lube.
AMSOIL gear oils are formulated with friction modifiers for limited slip differential
applications. There is no need to add limited slip or additional additives.
