Have a 2003 Jeep grand cherokee laredo, 4x4. It has "selec-trac" on the shifter plastic. Not sure of all the drivetrain options for this vehicle, wife bought it. The owner's manual is somewhat vague. It lists both 75w-90 and Xw-140 GL-5 lube for the differentials, based on wether it's a selec-trac, or quad-trac, etc.
I rotated the tires the other day, and verified a limited-slip diff. when spinning one rear tire forward the other spun backwards. I have about 6-8 quarts of motorcraft 75w-140 syn gearlube I want to use up. I'm running this lube straight in my '02 Camaro with the torsen differential (does not require friction modifier additive) and am very happy with it. I Had been running redline 75w-90, and 80w-140, the motorcraft actually runs quieter. No more hum at highway speeds.
On the jeep, does anyone know what type differential unit they use? Do I need to go buy limited-slip additive? And if so, should I stay with motorcraft and get that brand additive, or will any do like the sta-lube additive at the parts store? Any links to Jeep info would be appreciated as well.
