LOL at the pissing match in this thread!
Some posi units do NOT require the additive, like a Torsen, it's as simple as that! I use normal ole Valvoline 80/90 in the **** 10 bolt. No since in spending the extra dough on synthetic for this time bomb, it's already went off once

My God Doug... did you even read what I posted... or did you just read the first line and find your panties in a wad again ??
Which in the best case senario... drag the short radius tire which will induce the "chirp" that you were talking about. My statement however, brought theory of operation into the explaination... not speculation and misinformation as does yours.
The clutch failure is more common to an inexperienced driver... that while in the box doing their burn out (which is completely unecessary for street tires) and they are not paying attention to loading both tires... they end up cooking the clutch pack from that alone. You know you have seen it yourself... in the eleventy billion years that you have been racing... so go ahead and admit that. Although... IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FRICTION MODIFIER. Unless for some reason you were listening to the other clowns out there and that someone runs three or four bottles of it... obviously.
Im not putting you donw to make myself feel better... just reading your bullshit is entertainment enough.
That is probably because a Torsen isnt a posi to begin with...
Static friction occurs when the clutches physically lock together...

No. Eaton also tells you to use a non-synthetic, mineral based gear oil with this diff, even though one would think that they could use a synthetic in this helical/worm gear application. They must have their reasons.
chicane (or anyone else); do you have any input on this??

Shaefer's 80W-90, #267 is all anyone will need. Look @ the BITOG web site & see the difference between Shaefer's & synthetics. 140 protection with much better coverage & without the thicker viscocity.

the thing is i i get a little bit of inner wheel hop on sharp slow turns, like leaving a parting spot, or after i come to a stop sign
if i turn right the right wheel hops a lil bit
if i turn left the left wheel hops a lil bit.
that normal for the truetrack. i was thinking it might have been from the type of fluid

Depends on what type of differential you have in there...since I run an Eaton in my Strange 12-bolt, I have to use a non-synthetic gear oil...otherwise, the clutch packs will be hating life and won't work right. If you still have a torsen type of differential, then you are fine using the synthetic, and I think the 140 weight would be a good step in the right direction. I wouldn't expect it to dramatically incrase your rear's life though if you are still on a 10-bolt...
