Looks like a trac-loc carrier to me, which was a factory limited-slip.
So yeah, open.

Use whatever gear oil you have on hand (Synthetic is better as it can handle the heat from the new gears & bearings breaking themselves in better), You are going to be draining it out after 500 miles use.
Just remember to Take it extra easy for the first 200 miles after the regear, Don't speed (Keep it under 50MPH) or pound on the accelerator, After 20minutes or so stop for another 20 to let it cool off (You will be amazed at how hot the diff cover will be).
Then drive nice & easy (Under 60) until you hit the 500 mile mark, Change out the gear oil (Wait until you see all the crap in it) & you will be good to go.
Remember to add whatever friction modifier the factory specifys to the gear oil after the oil change.

My trac-loc at 225,000 is shot....
When they work, they do okay, but a locker would be better....
Once I have the cash, I WILL be going with a locker.....

I would not recommend using the old fluid to break in the new gears, For the break in period use whatever is on sale!
After the breakin period is over fill it with the best stuff you can find. I use Amisol severe gear 75-140.

kind of off-topic, but after a regear and during break-in, because it runs so hot, it would be better to use 75-140 than 80-90 because the 75-140 is thicker, correct? typically i use what i have and what's around, but one of these times i'd like to do it right.

yea what this guy said. i was told to put 70-80 in it until i regear it. after the guy regears it. it should be good to go right? cause its going to be about 2 hours of driving.
