Here are a few other threads on this or a similar topic, perhaps they may be of some help. What does Amsoil recommend on their site?
Dana 44A gear oil?
What's the latest and greatest 75w140 gear oil out there? With an appropriate amount of friction modifier? Purely marketing, Royal Purple appeals to me. I sucked some old gunk out and added some Valvoline 75w140 last year, but I think I need something a bit more sturdy. I know the 44A is...

Any downside to 75w-140 v 80w-90 in a differential?
I'm mostly curious to what others think. My last couple of vehicles I changed out rear diff fluids with Amsoil 75w-140 Severe Gear because they saw use in extreme conditions off road and towing a small travel trailer. They were both Jeep Wranglers with D44 rear axles with LSD. Worked great...

75w-90 or 75w140 for Jeep?
Time to change the rear end oil in my 02 Wrangler. It has the Dana#44 rear axle, 3.73 ratio. Local Napa has a great price on Amsoil and has 75w-90 and 75w-140 in stock. I don't pull anything with it although it's over 100F all summer.

The final word on running synthetic in the diffs??
Hi guys, this is going to burn a hole in my head! I've been sitting on the fence about running synthetic in my Jeeps diffs, just to lessen the amount of changes I need to make, and a little more cold weather protection. I spoke with Currie AND TrueHi9, and they both recommend a 80w140 NON...

Some of the aftermarket diff makers spec a different oil than what the OEM called for.
I have a Detroit tru-trac in my 9.75 Ford rear diff that calls for 80-90 Dino without LS additive, where as Ford called for 75-140 with LS.
A power loc is a clutch type diff, needs FM same as a Ford Track Loc or Eaton/GM Posi Trac.
Id dump M1 in it in which ever flavor most closely matches the OE recommendation.
