Default Rear End Additive?

My friend told me about this additive (I forget the name) but it helps both wheels lock in more. Is there really additive that does this?

no, not really.
what he was talking about is a 'friction modifier' that is required for limited slip differentials. its required for the clutches. its in the parts stores in little 6-8 oz bottles located next to the rear end oil.

Relex,
When I changed the the rear Dif oil in my truck I went to Autozone and got some Limited Slip additive. It comes in 7 ounce tubes. Supposedly makes the gear oil work better. The stuff cost about 8 bucks a tube. Hope this info helps!
