Try callin Ken McCabe and askin about amsoil. He's working first shift this week, gets home around 5:00-5:30. The gear oil I bought from him was around $10 a qrt I think.

I suggested Ken because he is local, no shipping, but I think that most amsoil is usually the same price from different places.

You dont need synthetic in the front. Just put syn in the rear diff.

$20 a quart is ridiculous. Shop around.

Appreciate the "nudge" AR. For 4qt, you might be come out better??? getting it locally but I would sure shoot you a price shipped if interested. $20 is definitely not worth it.

I wasn't trying to offend you Heath or anything like that, it just seems that amsoil has prettey universal price from location to location, so I thought I'd suggest a way for him to possibly save a few bucks.

No, I didn't take it that way at all. No worries.
