Gear oil for heavy hauling

Let me know how you like the Amsoil 75w110.
Nice !! I am here in the cold desolate wasteland of Saskatchewan. I am running Federated Co-op SL 80w140 in mine. I originally bought a 20L pail to use in my long traded off 1500. Since I had plenty left over I have been using it in my 2017 3500. Runs great.
I had looked for the big names like Mobil, Royal Purple and Amsoil but the prices were ridiculous. Depending on your location, you can look at PetroCan gear oils as well. Again, the prices are way better than the rest and they are Canadian made.

Does the Dodge have this?
It is a limited slip, but doesn't require any additive as it has no clutches.
While the Dodge spec says it doesn't need LSD additive, that Trac-Rite LSD indeed has clutches. They are termed "shoes" in the IPL and the Trac-Rite will indeed experience LSD clutch chatter.
I have one too (with almost 270k miles on it), trust me; they will get chatter with different fluids.
Check whad LSD you do have. Local dealership said Ram 3/4 and 1 tons use a LSD like the Detroit True-trac which is not supposed to have additive or it hinders the LSD.

I'm running Redline 75w140 in my dually 11.8 AAM w/4.10 gears. It pulls a 26k+ 5th wheel. No issues.

Spotted a Super Duty today with a Banks rear cover … corner scoops were very noticeable. This was no breaux dozer guy … rancher type with gooseneck and bunch of round bales …

ummmmmm
Those boxy after market diff covers are trash. Put the stock cover back on.
Differential covers have the shape they do for a reason.

That is crazy they don't spec a 140W oil in a HD rear end, towing like you do, I would be running 75-140
Ya got me, this is a 14 year old thread
