Default Question about my rear?

Took my truck to the shop to have the rear diff inspected and the fluid changed. The guy told me I had a locking Diff and did not see anything wrong with it.

This is what my build sheet says it is:
DMDS 3.55 Rear Axle Ratio
DRBS Corporate 9.25 LD Rear Axle

I took it in cause on a left turn it feels like its almost wants
to wheel hop. And when in 4WD turning left the wheel acts like
wants to lock up.

Is this the rear end everyone is having problems with? I have
included my whole build sheet if that helps:

I clicked on this based on title alone just to see what replies would show up.

Do you know if you still have your oem ASD or has it been replaced like so many others?

Well the medical term that we bio majors refer to is gleutus maximus. In the middle of the two muscle is where the final stage of digestion occurs. If constapation occurs laxitives are often used to clear things up for you. Also, when you finish this natural function, be sure to wash your hands thoruoghly. That's what this thread is about right?

Yes, binding and wheel hop means you have neglected changing your differential lube for too long - specifically the friction modifier has worn out.

Yes, the 9.25" Anti-Spin (limited slip) is the one everyone has problems with...

That's what he said. I just bought the truck about 3 months ago and had the rear lube changed as soon as I purchased it, must be the damage was already done?

When I first had it changed the binding felt like it smoothed out but its back and he said the lube looked very dirty already. Hopefully the gears are still good and I can just get a new DTT or Auburn and be done with it.
