Limited slip

hey, the limited slip has really lost its grunt since ive gotten the truck.

will draining and refilling the fluid with the additive make the posi grab a bit more? or it worn out and lost ?

Try changing the fluid and adding friction modifier then drive in a figure 8 about 10 times to work the clutches around.
That is kinda premature for a LS to die. Mine is still tight enough to drag a tire around a corner @ 66,000 miles and the one in my 88 5.0 LX Mustang still smokes both tires @ 161,000 miles.
