Reading my son's 1999 RAM Pickup owner's manual, I came upon this: "If you plan to pull a trailer for a significant number of miles, reduce the potential for rear axle overheating by replacing the rear axle lubricant with an SAE 75W-140 synthetic gear lubricant. Mopar synthetic Gear Lubricant is of this type. "
Guess that answers the old "if synthetics were better, Chrysler would use them" statement, huh? Mother MOPAR knows they're better, but REALLY wants you to get past the warranty before your axles go!
