Well, my 5 lug kit came today and I drained all my fluid out of the differential and removed my 4 lug axles... But now I am wondering what the BEST gasket is to use when I put the cover back on AND what is the BEST rear end fluid to use????
Thanks guys

You need the friction modifier and some Ultra Blue like on n20 said. No need for a gasket. I like valvoline synthetic rear end fluid, but as long as it stays full, any should do.

the frictin modifier is just a little bottle of stuff, u just put in the bottle, its like 4-6oz if i remember from doin my trucks rearend 10 times ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) , then just fill the rest with a decent gear oil, i actually use gear oil made by honda's motorcycle division, seems weird but it makes the gearsthe queitest, also royal purple is suppose to be good, i am gonna try that the next time i change gears

When i did my 5 lug conversion i used ultra black sealer no gasket..no leaks. The whole bottle of friction modifier purchased at ford and dont get it on your clothes that shit stinks. i ran 80/90 gear oil from kragen dont forget to get the pump thing to put the fluid in or else it will take forever. good luck.

dont overfill your rearend, 8.8s in 5.0s only take about 2 quarts of gear oil. fill it up a little less then halfway then add about 4 oz. of friction modifier to prevent clutch chatter. As for gaskets and gear oil, i've had good luck just with rtv or rtv and a gasket and synthetic gear oil.
