[QUOTE="Bill Ellis, post: 701472, member: 59929"] Actually, limited slip is always "kicked in". The two axles are semi-locked together with a friction clutch pack. The LS dif actually operates when the wheels need to turn at different rpm's and the clutch pack slips allowing the axles to rotate at different speeds. Mine was replaced at 35,xxx miles. I knew it was going bad because I could hear it chatter when turning corners. Sounds like yours is slipping all the time. If you ever had your dif fluid replaced did they [or you] also add the friction modifier fluid? [/QUOTE]
