Do you have more background on your truck is it a FX4 or 2, if so then it has a E locker on the rear diff.

The 5Gs do not have LSDs they are either open or E-lockers on the rear and all open on the front. So it really doesn't matter if the lube has friction enhancer or not.

Do the simple 4x4 option come with E lockers? I would have thought it was a option.

Thanks! So I'm thinking the friction modifiers will not harm the gears..

It comes as part of some packages, like the FX4 and as and option on the more base models. Can also be added to the 4x2s.

Yeah I didn't want black, white or grey. Too many of them. And it was only used two years. Not a fan of Velocity Blue.
