Oil type and quantity for 96 non-posi

Siggertx · Jul 23, 2017

I'm on a mission to replace every fluid in my 200k 96 C1500. All that I am lacking is power steering and rear diff.

Can anyone tell me what the recommended fluid and capacity is on this? Thanks!

2.0 Liters of 80W-90 for non-limited slip 10 bolts.

The Haynes Repair Manual says to "fill" the diff. This means add differential fluid slowly until it oozes back out of the fill hole. I just did mine and it took more than 2 liters. It was about 3 quarts, or 2.84 liters.

And just for anyone else reading, it doesn't matter if you have the factory locker, or not - you don't use any "posi" additive in the differentials any GMT400 truck came with.

"Posi" additive or friction modifier is for carriers with clutch style limited slip setups only.
