I don't believe you can damage the gears or bearings by running heavier gear oil unless your running your truck in sub-zero temperatures.The Amsoil viscosity is too heavy.I'd try this: https://www.autozone.com/greases-and-gear-oil/gear-oil/stp-gear-oil-85w-140-1-gal-/692269_0_0Reducing noise will reduce metal contact and wear - and WILL extend the life of the bad bearings.Gnarls.
What?? why is that Amsoil too heavy?? I can't wait to hear this.
I understand it's not the correct fix, but as I said in the original post I'm only trying to buy some time & not being lazy. I believe it will work for a while.Mine is a case where better lubrication or additives should have been used to prevent the current problem long before I owned it. I'm basically using thick oil to fill in space once filled by bearing surface.
Ok I understand your point about masking sounds vs actually lubrication. Maybe a thicker oil will act as a cushion and an additive to increase actual lubrication may buy me some time. If it makes it quieter and nothing else I'll be happy just not listening to it growl as I drive
I watched a gearbox with a cutaway that only had Lucas in it, spun at high-speed the Lucas stayed on the gears and had a heavy webbing effect between gears , next to omega 690 which I can't afford it's probably as good as the Amsoil . I guess in short I was looking for a better product than Lucas though it's probably as good at its job as anything dollar for dollar. Hmmmm what to do?

That is a ridiculous and practically worthless test!Gnarls.
... Just my two cents, it may not be worth much.
bd... Your two cents are ALWAYS worth something to ME!!! Gnarls.
250 lbs. of gear lube is a LOT of weight!! Gnarls
do you have a problem with me? because I am getting quite fed up with your smart ass comments. If you were not trying to piss me off you might have noticed I directly replied to a comment YOU MADE.I have seen you come into numerous threads right behind me and word your remarks different but say the exact same thing as I have to try and contradict what I have said and I am getting fed up fast.
No I haven't watched the video where Lucas foams. Honestly the last 30 days I've watched, read and looked into more information about lubrication products than ever before in my life. The one thing I've learned for sure is there's to many opinions on the topic to know who's correct & everyone is an expert in their own right. It seems there's also as much defense of one's personal beliefs on oils & lubrication products as there is political & religious topicsSo I'll likely do what I've done with the last two topics , test things myself, study as unbiased as possible & use logic with my own reasoning to form my own beliefs. I'll undoubtedly get some things wrong and adapt my view with time & experience.Thank you all for your opinions and information .
Do I need to report you to yourself?
