Default LSD problem????

I have a 2008 1500 QC Laramie with the LSD. It only has 175 miles on it. When going around a tight corner the rear end chatters. Will this work out after a few more miles or do I have a problem that needs service, Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm no expert, and i might be wrong. But it sounds like LSD fluid wasn't added to the Gear Lube......Again this is only a guess.

Yea, a chatter usually means no LSD additive (friction modifier) is in there. I'd take it in and complain. They'll probably dump a 4 oz. bottle in there and the sound will go bye-bye...

Definitely the additive. Had the same issue with a Chevy a few years back. Added the additive and it stopped immediately.

try this first....
Go to a parking lot at night and do some tight figure 8's....My truck did it too when i first got it...and after 3 min of figure 8's, it went away.

nobody thinks it a "c(u)nt clip"?
if you use amsoil you wont even need the friction modifier...
