    It will cause the LSD clutches to slip too much leaving you stuck. Meaning one wheel peel


    Worst case scenario of course.

    All GL5 has friction modifiers in it...... Just not enough usually for LSD rear ends.

    Your 05 clutch pack ( assuming you don't have the elocker) is likely worn out anyways so it ainyt going to matter just make sure it has friction modifier in it... Either in the gear oil or as an additive.

    Could that be the culprit that caused my truck to jolt as I turned
