I just installed new axle bearing/seals in mine. I used 2 qts of RP oil and a rear end gskt. Total for all was about $60 . I do not know what they charge me for the oil, but it musta been free. LOL. I know the bearing and seals was about $45.
With the torsion no additive is needed. I put one in my truck and only used dyno oil for it and it is smooth as glass.

Damn... now I have to actually hit up a dealership for the slip additive? Bastards. That is too much effort for me. Looks like I'll be stopping on my lunch hour tomorrow.

Mmk. I'll be getting the LSD additive soon. Do you put the additive in first and then fill it with the gear oil? I would assume the whole bottle of LSD additive should be in there, right?

Yes, I know about the Auburn Pro, but that was only available from SLP on the SSes and Firehawks, as an option .
