How much is to much

I have a 2003 supercrew.I have a chatter in the rear diff. I did axle seals and outer bearings. When i add my new gear lube I put 8onz of the additive in.I still am geting a chatter now its when the rear diff is cold once it warms up some than it stop. Should i put more additive in? Or will that be to much?

It shouldn't take more than specified. If your rearend is still chattering, the damage may already be done and you may need your diff rebuilt.

By chatter, do you mean when cornering?

You might want to do a search, but I heard of having to put in 2 cans of modifier.

What kind of rear end lube are you using? I'm using Mobil 1 75w90 (I know that it's supposed to be 140) with no additive and I hardly ever get chatter. What I do get, I kind of like as it just means that it's actually gripping back there.
