See, piece of cake. If you make it back up here to PA, drop me a line. I'll hit up Rausch with you.

What diff fluid would you suggest using? I'm installing axle sleeves this weekend and don't know what to put back in there

You really can use any quality gear oil out there. I use Valvoline Durablend in mine. It's relatively inexpensive, but still a decent product. Others use Mobil1 and Royal Purple, but I change mine often enough that I don't see the need to pay the premium price.

If you tow you should use synthetic and a higher weight according to the Chrysler manual.

I used a higher weight than necessary but a generic. However, I have 37k miles on a 2008. So I don't stress it much. Also, I plan on upgrading diff covers before long and then I'll think about Royal Purple.
