Limited Slip???

The tag on my diff. reads 3L55 which means limited slip right? Well mine acts like it might as well be an open diff. Any ideas?

I'm running 35 x 12.50's Do you think this is too much for this diff.?

The clutches inside are probably worn out, try adding some limited slip additive, and see if that helps.

I would get the lube evacuated and then add new oil with the limited slip additive.

I did. Thanks, I empied it out and filled it back adding the LS add. It works great now. Both tires tearin' it up. I recomend that everyone changes the diff. lube. You would not believe what came out of there. It was bad.... Thanks again
