gear lube gl4 or gl5

I plan on draining and refilling all the gear lube on my M37, trans,transfer and both diffs , my question is can I use a GL5 gear lube or should I be looking for some GL4 gear lube ? Finding a GL4 in my area has been a little difficult . It seems that GL5 is the replacement gear lube now .

fuel pump wireing

When I added a electric fuel pump to my m37 I used a momentary on switch and switch cover for my installation . I only use the electric fuel pump as a primer ,when the vehicle sits for a while . I was a little concerned about too much fuel pressure to use the electric pump all the time.
