Thanks for sharing this diagram. It aligns with Zachanadandy's suggestion: "If I had a rear LSD I'd have to make sure the spare ended up on the front...". Also see Zachanadandy's comment in post #102.

For Trac-Lok / LSD, would it make sense to switch the direction of each arrow?
Also see reply #30 in this thread: "If I had a rear LSD I'd have to make sure the spare ended up on the front...".

Coolant color is no longer relevant . What matters is that the coolant is:
OAT-formulated and complies with MS.90032 or MS-12106

My answer is E) All of the above.
Requirements from the owner's manual:
1. Change oil and filter
2. As indicated by Oil Change Indicator System (do not ignore; it can illuminate sooner than MAX mileage); can trigger as early as 3,500 miles; if triggered, change oil & filter ASAP, within next...
As the OP for the thread on PEAK purple coolant (and the competition), I find it interesting that the results of the poll are heavily in favor of orange. I suspect that the poll result has to do with the color of the factory fill.
Before I wrote that post, I read that the coolant color debate...

I don't know the history on Royal Purple MAX ATF, but here's what I found when I looked up this info for my post on key info.
SYNCHROMAX
- Match to Gladiator transfer case on RP product finder

- ATF+4 is mentioned for "Viper Trans...
Agreed. To assist with finding the right stuff, I have added a section called "Other options" to the original post above. Each aftermarket option that is listed in my post on prices (and not ZF-approved) is a part-to-part, "claimed equivalent".

I bought my Gladiator Sport in Sep 2019. Daily driver, 48K mi, and original purple coolant. Never taken it off-road, but that's going to change.
I know that ZEREX is also MS-compliant, but I am skeptical of their parent company's products because, in some cases, they leave compliance...

PEAK coolant = MOPAR properties and same warranty as Prestone at ZEREX price
- In June 2026, I added the link for ZEREX G30 50/50, above, because its sale price has remained below the $20 price point; meanwhile, PEAK Purple 50/50 has migrated above the $20 price point
- Coolant color is no...
Cheapest MOPAR option for a locking gas cap:
MOPAR 5278655AB
- Includes 2 copies of flat key
- Better-than-nothing theft deterrent
- Slightly less convenient than other upgraded MOPAR locking fuel cap, but it's a perfect fit
Here's the minimum value of bring-your-own-oil service at the dealer.
Dealer's choice motor oil from Walmart and oil filter from dealer parts department:
$57.39 = (($26.98+$7.56)*(100%+8.25%)+$20.00), including sales tax of 8.25% and $20 for "labor-only" oil change
Copy & paste the calc into a...

Please add a link to support the claim in the previous reply (post #7). The topic of RP gear oil conflict can lead to a lot of reading but no pot of gold (no conclusive proof) at the end.
