Do not use multigrade gear oil, it is too thick in cold weather Go to Autozone and get Coastal brand 90wt gear oil. It meets all specs and is safe for yellow metals(syncro's). Best to get 3gal for 4x4, and 4 gal for 6x6.
I just get the 5 gal pail and pump.

Sorry guys. I have a 710M

Heck Jim, how do we know what his weather is like? Now if he’d let us know where he’s from..

Doug listen to Jim he is a good source of knowledge.

90wt in 5 gallon buckets and far to lazy to use a pump so I use this


6 gallon capacity and charged by air, no pumping of oil for me

Ebay, a couple of years ago. I was at Super Duty Headquarters the other day and saw one for sale there also. I was a surprised to see how good of a deal I got on mine when I saw the price tag.

Shortcut to desk top - waiting for an Ebay deal or spare cash to order direct! LOL!

Im thinking it would be nice to put a longer hose on it and be able to get around to all the corners of the trucks without moving the tank?????

Thanks for the hook up!!!!!!!

I put a 12" piece on after the valve so I could reach into spots and keep the valve out in the open. Works exceptionally well. I also keep an empty 308 case to plug the hose end so the oil does not get all over the place, the valve is threaded and comes with a plug but with the hose it does not do much good.

That sounds like a really good idea also!
