The 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 requires synthetic 75w-90 GL-5 fluid for its rear differential. Keeping your tires in optimal condition is crucial for avoiding accidents. It's inevitable that you will encounter issues with this component eventually, leading to premature tire wear, feathering, and cupping. Be sure to regularly check tire pressure and inspect for any punctures. The part may loosen over time and will require eventual replacement. It's recommended to change your tires every 30,000 to 50,000 miles to ensure safety and prevent accidents while driving.
