It depends on the diff type. With an Auburn never use synthetic, Eaton I don't know but it's a clutch type so my personal preference is non synthetic.
If it's all gears like a TruTrac or Torsen it doesn't matter but I used non synthetic in my Torsen/3.73 Motive.
Hey I'm in PSL too.

The Auburn is a metal to metal cone clutch type diff. Synthetic oil just reduces it's holding power. They do wear out quicker than other types in my opinion so by running synthetic for a year you probably just extended the life of it a bit, thats a guess.
But they don't recommend synthetic, for max holding it needs non synthetic and ONLY GM or ford friction modifier.
