Do you have a problem with your rearend? If your clutches are locked up tight (is that possible?) a simple fluid change may not help.

Also, in case you need it there is a spell check feature located on the top right of the reply board above the smiley's.

Good Luck

HEY GEORGER DO NOT REMOVE THE REAR END TO SOAK THE FRICTION MODIFIER!! JUST TAKE OFF YOUR REAR PLATE EXAMIN THE REAR HOUSING AND GEARS, TAKE A CLEAN RAG AND WIPE OUT AS MUCH OF THE HOUSING AS YOU CAN,PUT THE REAR PLATE BACK ON WITH SOME BLUE AUTOMOTIVE RTV AND RFILL THE HOUSING TO SPECS.. DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE FRICTION MODIFIER IN FIRST..IF YOU WANT TO YOU CAN INSTALL A MAGNET AT THIS TIME AND DRIL AND TAP FOR A DRAIN PLUG I/4 INCH PIPE PLUG

Limited Slip Rear Gears In Heavy Ford Trucks Are Always Under Pressure! If Your Truck "chunks" When You Are Empty And Making A Sharp Turn Remember The Rear Axle Was Set Up To Work Under A Load.. My 99 Crew 6.8 5speed 4.30:1 Still "chunks" When Empty But When I Have My Camper On It It Is Smooth As Can Be
