Did a search on this but didn't get a real clear answer. I just looked at my RPO codes and discovered I have a GU6 (Rear Axle 3.42) and G80 (Positraction / Limited Slip / Locking Rear Diff). Is this a good setup??? Also, how does an "open" diff play into all of this??? Does this setup (RPO codes) apply to the front axle as well??? Also, I just changed out my rear diff fluid a while back with 80-90W Valvoline Synthetic Blend. Should I have used this tube of special additive I keep reading about??? Sorry for the load of questions ... just trying to learn more about this stuff. Thanks in advance!

I think that they only put lockers in ther rear of trucks (gov-lock). It doesn't need special lube. If nowone else confirms this you can give a dealer a call.

Some people use the additive and some don't I think it is preference though. As far as the set up goes, it all depends on what you want to do with your truck. I would say it is average.
I'd have to say that lube IS necessary. If not necessary,. it can't hurt. The gov-locks DO have clutches, so why wouldn't use use the lube??
