MRWHOOPPEE,
You might try driving a dozen or so, low speed figure 8's, in the out back of WallyWorld's parking lot.
Hopefully that will help work the friction modifier into the differential clutch mechanism.
Good luck.

MRWHOOPPEE,
Still, wouldn't hurt to give it a try. On a trip you probably didn't go around a lot of corners.
If that doesn't help, then the fix seems to be, go to GM non-synthetic differential gear lube + the friction modifier.
Maybe just a tad more of the modifier added to what's in there will do the trick.
Good luck.

Re: Stop the chatter ? (MRWHOOPPEE)
Red Line 75W90 rear axle lubricant and the GM "Additive" are not compatible. Mixing of the two usually causes trouble.
Drain the diff and fill it with new Red Line 75W90, then road test the car. If you have limited slip chatter, add half a bottle of Red Line Friction Modifier. If you still have chatter add the rest.
The proper road test for limited slip chatter is to, first drive the car 10 miles to fully warm the axle, then find a parking lot and drive in tight circles at low speed. If you hear a squealing of chatter from the axle, use RL FM. If you don't do not add any FM.

I am using the redline 75-90 with no additives and no problems.
Are you using the right version of redline? Redline has a NS version that is for old diffs or track use.

Good info! I've been using RL's 75W90 for over a year on my daily driver with no problems of any kind.

Re: Stop the chatter ? (tshac)
Dealer changed fluid (Mobil1/GM additive) due to a seal R&R under warranty. Three weeks later, the chatter returned. I switched to AMSOIL 2000 and walla, chatter was gone. :yesnod:
