The proper gear oil for a basic v8 is 75W-90 gear oil front and back. If you have the tow package with 3.73 gears then factory recommends you use 75W-110 however this is not totally necessary if you do very little towing. You will also want to use limited slip additive in the front axle and rear if you have the 249 transfer case (no 2WD option). If you have the 242 transfer case (selec-trac) then it is optional to place the additive in the rear axle but required in the front.
