Default differential fluids

Heyyall, I've got a limited slip diff and my clutches are sticking, so I'm going to change the fluid and add some additive for the L/S diff. What fluid and additive(s) do yall recomend? Truck is in my sig.

Theres only one additive for LSD. I guess theres different brands but I get whatever the parts store has. They're all the same

I bought mine from the dodge dealership, I think it was a 5oz bottle for $3-4. But I think any type of LSD additive will work

Any lsd additive will work. put the additive in first then fill with gear lube. 75/W90 conventional lube is the recommended lube 75/W140 synthetic is recommended if you tow frequently.
When your all done do some slow figure 8's in an empty parking lot or other large paved area. This will help pump the new lube between the clutches and should stop the chatter.

It's an option not standard equipment, but it is common on the trucks
