As said before it it DOT 5 silicone fluid. Don't mix the different types of type 5 either. "This fluid must only ever be mixed with DOT 5 fluid which has the same silicone base. Never mix DOT 5 with regular glycol based fluids." If you do you will get Jello in your brake system.
Also be careful driving in the rain. Just a little too much on the brakes and it will try to come around on you quick. Drifted mine by accident when a light changed to yellow on me into an off camber corner.
The spartan locker replaces the spider gears. No setup required so anyone can do it. A Track lok you need to setup the gearset and not many people know how to do it or have the setup kit.
If you do install the locker in the front also install manual locking hubs. During street use only lock only the passenger side hub, then if you get stuck you only need to get out and lock the driver side hub. Thats what I did with my 1 ton chevy with a locker in the dana 60.
I found an option. I am attempting to include the link for what I did to fix mine.

LO9-2320-386-12 and tm9-232-386-24-1-2 are the only references I found.
wipers
On my way home from work the wipers started to turn into spaghetti. I had some new 13 inch wipers sitting around so I made a quick mod. took off the original wiper and noticed the steel bracing fit inside of the new wiper but the pin was in the way. Drilled out the rivet pin and it fits...
A quick question. What pre-start procedure did you use on the engine that sat open for so long? If you just fired it up then you may have broken the rings that were probably rusted to the cylinder wall and scored the walls up pretty good. Is the breather system clean and working correctly?
My $0.02 on the options.
My truck already has a locker in axle#3 and I considered putting an Air Arb in the middle and a minispool in the front. I don't need the other lockers but just considering the upgrade when time and money allows. I already have locking hubs up front so that wouldn't be an...
