limited slip hopping

I was having problems with my limited slip jerking and hopping while backing up and turning sharp. I read through post after post and though I didn't expect it to be that easy I took the easiest suggestion and changed the differential oil and added the limited slip additive and I will danged if the problem didn't completely go away. too awesome.
I dodn't know if it had ever been done before but the truck has 140k on it

Good deal...Here again is another example of Ford's wisdom...They knew that if one did not change the diff oil and add the friction modifiers this would happen as well as other probs with limited slip diffs...

ALL HAIL THE FORD GOD'S!!!...This is why I use only Ford products whenever and where ever possible...

LMAO...Giggity...Gittigy...Quagmire uses Ford's friction modifiers!
