Sephiroth,
I would stay away from the 85W-140, that stuff is THICK. I think it would cost you at the pump, and it "might" even affect the bearings.

Per my manual, the diffs require 75W140 synthetic in both diffs if towing at all. This needs to be changed every 12k miles. Don't shoot the messenger. I'm only communicating the rules that Dodge has put forth via their manual.

We're talking Amsoil 100% synthetic extreme pressure differential fluid here, I don't think it's as thick as conventional towing diff fluid and I believe the life expectancy of the Amsoil fluid is considerably longer than what the owner's manual is referring to.

For the DIY'er ...
The new AMSOIL Hand Pump was designed to make it easier to dispense lubes in awkward, hard to install applications. Specifically designed to fit AMSOIL quart, gallon and Twin Pack bottles, the AMSOIL Hand Pump guarantees efficient, quick dispensing of AMSOIL gear oils, transmission fluids and any oil that may need to be pumped. A larger pump and thicker hose make it possible for the AMSOIL Hand Pump to pump one ounce of fluid per stroke versus the 1/4 ounce per stroke of standard pumps. This four-fold improvement in pump efficiency saves you time and hassle.
_ 
The AMSOIL Hand Pump's versatility also makes it well suited to many automotive and marine applications, including fluid fills in differentials, transmissions, transaxles, boat lower units and boat sterndrives.
With the AMSOIL Hand Pump you no longer need to transfer your fluid to another bottle in order to dispense it, saving time and eliminating the possibility of contaminating your fluid.
The AMSOIL Hand Pump kit includes all necessary hardware such as the hose, hose clamps, a cone applicator for boat lower unit fills, 3 pick-up tubes (one for each AMSOIL bottle size) and a hose retainer clip to eliminate hose dangling and oil messes.
High quality and high efficiency make the NEW AMSOIL Hand Pump a nice compliment to the entire AMSOIL product line.

I put the Amsoil 75W-90 in my '03 3:55 LSD (9-1/4") 2wd and went ahead and added the dodge friction modifier. Has worked great and I don't have a bit of noise from the axle.

I put the Redline 75W90 in mine at 15k miles. Changing it next week at 45k miles. No need to add friction modifier, as it is already included. Works great. Doesn't have that 'stiff' feeling on the 10 degree winter mornings that it had with the stock dino oil in there.
