    I have a question regardin the LSD additive. In the USA it han be had at any parts store. Here in Mexico where I am at that is a ddiferent story. All tacomas sold here in MX have the lockers -- no LSD rear diffs here unless they are brought from the USA.

    Can I use other manufacturers LDS additive that I migh be able to buy from a GM, ford or other dealership that might sell vehicles with the LSD system

    I have the shudder and I need to change. The border is approx 700 miles away so that is not an option. To ship into MX is difficult due to MSDS requirements and possible extra paperqwork at customs.

    Anyone have any suggestions let me know. I did check some of the online additives and some say they are not compatible with the Taco system???

    Thank you much.

    However, I did find one that, which according to the info stated that is was incompatable wit the tacoma which is what caused some concern. It was on line so i did not have the benefit of seeing all the details. Ill go into a GM dealership and see what they offer and read the details on the bottle.
