if the limited slip clutches are worn out then the carrier has to be removed to replace them, if you are a good back yard mechanic with the gauges it can be done, you can find all the specs online, as for the gear oil, a good synthetic, like amsoil, mobile 1, they also sell the friction modifier. I've had good luck with both of them.

does this sound right no additive, see below from royal purple.
Richard,
F350 could come with several different rear ends.
A Dana 80 Limited Slip – RP MaxGear 75W90 – 4.25 quarts
A Ford Factory Limited Slip – Rp MaxGear 75W140 – 3.5 quarts
No additive is needed in either oil as both already come fully formulated.
Have a safe Thanksgiving Holiday.

Stock the ford sterling 10.5 should take 3.5qts 75w140 with 4oz XL-3 friction modifier...If you bought a new cover with a 6qt capacity and only put 2-4 oz of friction modifier in it then you put less than 50% the amount of friction modifier required. This is probably your problem. I just hope it isn't too late for your LS clutch.
Royal purple comes with additive already in it... some do and some don't, so read the sticker on the container carefully and CHECK EVERY BOTTLE YOU BUY... Once i bought the mobile 1 stuff and got it home only to discover i had grabbed 2 bottles with modifier in it and 2 without...
Now I use the royal purple without adding any additional friction modifier and I don't have chatter...
