And here is how I did it...
I would say you could pick any off the Meritor Technical Bulletin below. And again I believe it will be eaiser to find a 75W90 and the TB also shows that. ymmv
ETA... I will try my darnest to stay away from Chinese stuff... You are just not going to save than much on Chinese made oil to make...
I think you may have more options if you look at 75W90 synthetic . I am reading to see if I will go this way nor not.
The dude who I talked to doing gear swaps suggested Schaeffer 293 Supreme Gear Lube 80W90. I can't find this locally. 80w90 is good down to -15° F But reading below I...
Well I am not doing this for MPG... I want less RPM st highway speeds... There is way more to the equation than gearing with it comes too fuel economy. Rolling resistance, aerodynamics, weight, ect... A brick of a heavy truck with huge tires... well
Sigh... do you realize what you just said? I am no math magician but you will get go faster with less engine speed with a the 3.07 ratio vs the stock 3.90 .

Maybe I should ask will this add value to the truck? Could I get my money out of it if in worst case...
Do you think its worth the 5 grand to install the gears? I am trying to decide if I want to spend the money... What are the pros and cons. Would you spend the money again?
Those from Amazon will work but they do not have a diode across the coil like what came factory. Without it there will be a voltage spike in the system when the power is removed from the coil. Another reason I wanted the Bosch .
If you mean Picker relays... the ones I have seen have been made in China and they only come in one color. They will work but I gave the reasons I picked Bosch. Not made in China and 2 colors.
I found some plaststic clips at the auto store . I think the clips are for a Huyndi or somethinng like that. As for the screws I use #10 stainless steel.
