It was widely accepted that the change to a stronger clip with the '06s fixed the issue. For a time it appeared so, but IMO it was basically because the '06s had a bit heftier clip AND did not have the mileage on them that the older model years had when their clips would fail.

Now that the 06+ trucks have been out a while, it does appear that the instances of clip failure are down a good percentage from the 05 and before models that were equipped with a factory LSD. However, the issue DOES still exist. So for the newer truck owners, a good, visual inspection is still STRONGLY RECOMMENDED at fluid change time.

Also, the larger clips DOES NOT change the fact that the stock LSD is still a rather poor functioning POS and still needs some light braking or a slight application of e-brake just to function at all.

If it's within budget and you do the type of driving where you rely on a LSD, it's still highly advisable to get a DTT or Auburn unit...

 

^^^ 1000% agree, However A regular smoe like me going off road once a year and 4 wheeling basically in the snow, you would think I/we 06's and beyond should be good to go at least for the 75'ooo miles I would imagine. But anything can happen on any given day with these set ups. yes??

 

My LS works great. One tire on ice, one on pavement and it doesn't spin at all (moderate throttle). 32K miles and it hasn't broke yet
