Yes, the 80w90 is in the list of recommended for the front differential. Here is the recommended list for your truck: https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2012/ford/f150-pickup/3-5l-6-cyl-engine-code-t-r-turbo/?volume=us-volume

Let me know if I can help.

yeah, 75w140 came with friction modifier in it, but I knew I had ELD device button my 4x4 controller and it's been off all the time plus on 2H. So I knew I'm not suppose to have friction modifier into the rear differential because eld came with limit slip while it's off.

Actually all of our recommended gear oils contain friction modifiers, however they are designed for use in limited slip, locking, and standard open differentials. You can run the viscosity you prefer in either differential.
