Just your everyday ordinary 85w-90 to 140 gear lube. Add Ford's friction modifier if you've got a clutch type posi in it.

I agree.............with gas prices going up by the minute, anything that would reduce friction and help gas milage would be the product to use.

something like 85W-140 is what you'd want for that kinda heat.
