85w140 full synthetic for the differentials. Not sure about the transfer case though. May be the same but I doubt it.

i had heard that you shouldnt run synthetic if your over like 50,000 miles because it make leak through the seals... but if its the same consistency, just a different chemical composition it really should affect it whether its dino oil or synthetic, right?

Rover says synthetic, I go with the 85W/145 for much quieter gears.

Full synthetic 85w-140 in both diffs and t-case. Your truck will be much quieter, and happier. Using full syn will also improve your MPG.
