I tow a 7000 lb TT about 4 weeks or so every year, and all I had was the baked rear diff lube back when it was factory. Since then I'm synthetic and have the aluminum cover, but if those rear ends are too small, I'm sure I'll have issues with it eventually.

No Problem Coach. I had an '04 truck, '04 rear. Checked the level at 1,000 miles and it was just a tad low. I topped it off. (conventional gear oi).
At 3,600 miles it crunched. The replaced it with an entire '05 rear. New axles and brakes included, standard practice. It has the finned aluminum cover and synthetic 90-140 oil. But nothing has changed as far as the innards. That's exactly my issue as well. There is a problem, I don't consider a fancy looking cover and the best lube money can buy to be a fix, not even by a longshot.
