2002 F350 DRW Dana 80 4.3 gear lube

2002 F350 DRW Dana 80 4.3 gear lube

Hey yall, I've been looking all over on this and everything I see in print from ford and in Haynes shows 75w-90 in the rear end for my 2002 F350 dually with LS 4.3 gears in a Dana 80.

I run a small transportation business with my truck and atleast half of my miles are towing big heavy trailers.

This Diesel Hub page I found shows 75w-140 for ford's Dana 80.

Wondering if anyone knows or can help clarify for me. Thanks

Training for first Marathon and am burned out

Hello, I signed up for my first marathon this year and have been training for awhile. 2 weeks ago I did my 14 miles training run, last weekend I tried doing 16 and at mile 4 my knee started to hurt and I had to stop at mile 6 because of my IT band. Since then I haven't run now. I was supposed to do 18 miles yesterday or today and have zero motivation or interest in even going out to try after my leg started hurting in my last run.

Anyone ever get burned out on running while training for their marathon? After doing my half in 1:49:57, and then 2 - 14 mile training runs I feel done. I wish I still felt inspired for the marathon I'm supposed to run, but I don't have interest in anything over the half now.

Have never built or stained. Please give some gentle guidance

Hello, so while staining I realized at the end I messed up. In the past I thought using clear coat wood sealer it said not to shake or stir so I assumed that was the rule with all stain products. I used a pre stain product on this and then began staining it. Right away I thought it was light for dark walnut but didn't know better what it should look like when applying.

On the second to last panel I dipped the brush and it suddenly looked like I dragged the brush in dirt or paint. Didn't know what was happening until I realized I had used almost all the liquid and dipped into a settled pigment I wasn't aware of.

I kinda got it done and was upset wanting to stop the project and just cut it up. I feel dumb for wasting money on stain products when I wanted to leave it bare or clear.

After giving it a couple hours to sit I tried stirring and brushing a spot, it was worse than I imagined... after letting that sit while cleaning up I decided to try wiping that dark section off and it cleaned up kinda okay and I'm not sure if I should finish it like that.

Should I sand it? Restain it? Do I need to buy new stain?
