    You must be from a salt free climate. MI has its way of wearing away the painted S. I will try a tube of the lsd additive. It runs fine until you gun it.

    Denny,
    If you have an LSD the only noise it will make specific to the LSD is clutch chatter. This is what the additive is for. Usually it will chatter during the first turn after driving straight for a while. The additive AND fresh fluid should improve that.
    If it grumbles all the time while accelerating you may have a pinion bearing failing. A failed bearing will leave metal in the gear oil as evidence.

    Default You can run Mobil1 75w90 LS Synthetic in yr diff!

    You can just run Mobil1 Synthetic LS 75w90 in the diff. Synthetic oil additive packages work just fine with LSD's.

    perhaps letting you know it's a friend, add 1/4 tube of LSD juice and the nightmares go away my friend.
