Yes, thanks Scotty, I'm getting educated in yet another new realm. Just made a run to napa and got the additive to mix in with yesterday's GL5. I found some photos on line of ford trac-loc differentials and compared them with a photo I posted on this thread after I uncrated the 3rd member fron Lanny. Sure matches up to be a ford trac loc. There is plenty written online about the noise and vibrations when the clutch pack does not have the friction modifier and it chatters on slow cornering. Supposed to add it to warm differential so the cabinet work will have to wait til I go for a warm up, then the mix, then the test drive. Sucks to be waiting for cabinets from Mt Pickett Woodworking... But a guy has to have his priorities straight.
