I would still recomend diff & transfer case service and transmission service &/or flush every 75000 kms

Should I just wait until I hit 150K and do it twice :)

In my head
I like the Redline products for the drivetrain, especially rear diff when towing.

From their website regarding the 75W 140..... "Contains additional friction modifiers for suitablity with clutch-type limited slip differentials - for most LSDs, no additional friction modifiers are required"

Honestly my suggestion is always swap the fluid shortly after the purchase of the truck if you are buying it new. The amount of metal dumped in the oil when the gear set wears in is pretty astounding and allowing that garbage to float around in there for the next 50000 + miles always boggled my mind. I know the oem's seem to think it's just fine.... because as long as it makes the warranty period why should they care...... or if it by chance doesn't they can just run on the grounds you abused it and void the warranty anyhow. I am running Amsoil or Mobil depending on what it is. My 05 has a Detroit Locker and I went with 75W140 Amsoil this time. I get Amsoil for a decent price through a good friend of mine which is the only reason I use the stuff.
