I read part of that thread but it didn't really agree with what I saw here in the truck shops. Based on discussions in two different truck shops, it seems that all they have ever used is 50wt. However, it was your comment that the viscosity should be 50wt "minimum" in that thread that led me...

I've heard of talcum powder being used as well; back in the depression era cars. I hope that my transmission isn't that bad yet. :grin: I put in 40wt engine oil based on the recommendations of the board and the shifting got a little notchy as the transmission warmed up. Straight 50wt is...

I replaced the 40wt engine oil with 50wt transmission oil from the local truck shop. Not really less noisy but it does seem to shift better (or doesn't shift worse as it warms up). The benefit of the engine oil is that the detergents did clean out the transmission and transfer case.
