    I see you have a 2012. You don't need lsd additive at all on your truck. You have open diffs

    And I heard even if you have the LSD (went bye bye after 2007) it's only needed to keep the diff quiet and that not using it or using less makes it grab harder but causes chatter. This is hearsay. I've never seen the inside of those LSDs so I dunno how they work

    They have clutch packs like a motorcycle. You should run the additive in them. Alot of fluids come with the additive built in now.
