i was just searching your other posts after i answered your question about axle code,to see if you provided any info on your truck.but you haven't yet.
if you have a idi diesel truck f250-350,the changes are great that your axle is a 10.25 full floating rear axle.
what's your rig?

If you have a 10.25 limited slip the 80-90w basic gear lube would be fine, withthat you would need 4 oz friction modifier for the clutches in the diff.
