Although the lube specified by Dodge is 90w gear oil, according to Braden the proper lube is EP 6 or 7 gear compound. This oil isn't used in automotive/truck gearboxes and is normally used in industrial worm gear applications or similar slow turning high load situations. This oil is common in certain heavy industies and is usually only available in 5 gallon and/or 55 gallon drums. If you can locate a large crane outfit or industrial mill that has lots of big stationary gear drive systems you'll find them using a EP gear oil.
