odd question
 

ok in all my cars ive ive only had on with a limited slip and only knew cause previous owner told me and showed me. but i had to replace fuel pump in my 91 caprice and notices a tag on rear end that said to use limited slip gear lube now ive asked a couple people and got different answers one says tags went on on posi and limited slip diffs nother says that since plain jane car that some on at factory just put it on anybody wanna give there $.02

chevy dealer sells a additive that you need to put in there.and if my memeroy serves me right limited slip was chevys posi in 91.i havent see a real posi unit in yrs and yrs.by gm

oh yea forgot, they dont just put tags on things because its fun.it dont matter if its plain jane or fancy nancy, if its there its there for a reason.

thanks for info at least if i ever wanna upgrade to a real motor i got a decent starting point on rear end so my tank will lay down those oh so nice dual black marks lol

You could try the old racer's trick, which I believe still works for the 91 Caprice... jack the rear axle up in the center until both wheels are off the ground, then spin one rear wheel. If the other wheel spins the same direction it is a limited slip or posi. If it spins the opposite direction it is an open rear end.

looked up rpo code and it came wirh 3.08 limited slip

here is the GM part number for the posi additive
#1052358 retails for $12.65

You can also use the Mopar part number for the appication
#4318060AB retails for $7.67

Any GM or Chrysler, Dodge dealer should have this stuff in stock.

Just add the bottle and top off with the appropriate weight gear lube

thanks chris
better use gm cause mopar stuff might fubar it lol

Sam it is all made by the same company :!: Just a different label :!: Heck Mopar fluid just might help it :idea: :idea: Oh my bad Sam isn't use to real power use GM only in the rear differential :!: :!:


Mark

I saw that coming.

Always doggin' on the Mopar's, especially Mark's. I know your stuff is so fast. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and run him. Lets end this once and for all. I know how it will end. I got a $100.00 I'll put on Mark you want to match it?

count me in for 100 on mark too....come on dragon...whatcha got!! :P

man just giving mark little friendly shit
we go back and forth always have never had a real issue with dodge ive owner a few
and for my junk to compete with marks mopar id need 3/4 track lead sheesh bone stock 91 caprice just shy of 2 tons with a freaking 305
and if i hated mopars i wouldnt have asked mark about getting the other one he has sitting in his drive way or tryied to trade my firebird i have for a ramcharger

Ok now im going to have to defend my chevy guys so dont pick on him to hard for picking on slopars :lol:

I have owened them all at one time or another. We all have to have someone to :P

Hell i have a dodge that pulls my nova to the track. :oops:

aw come on dragon...throw a little NOS at it....Well maybe alot of NOS . :P

dont think it would take the 500hp shot to keep up

might be fun to try! :P

I bet it would take all that to keep up. Get your uncle to tune it for you. It should fly........apart. :lol:

beast why you being (in my opinion) an azz? ive never done anything to you. ive never bashed marks car its self. long tome ago on an other thread i concluded my uncle is a big azzhole and if i thought for one minute he was gonns emmbarass me and disrespect mark i sure has hell would not have taken him to meet him. you and your wife are nice people when i rode with mark to meet ya dont know what changed. and if i have offended mark im sure he would have told me so cause marks a stand up guy and done alot for me

hey dragon..seems like this is all in fun....why the butt hurt?? :?

just seems like beast has something on his mind but but instead of talking about to me tries to beat me down when he can

Back to the original question, most modern gear lube you dont have to use the additive anymore..havent put any of it in anything since the mid to late 80's

cool not sure when ill put fresh in it

Why would I try and beat you down? No need for that.
As for my mind, I'll probably seek professional help for that. :shock:

You are both good dudes. I think it is the "e-mail tone" that differs so much from the human tone you guys are used to at the track or in person.


Sam: the way I saw it was you were about enter the monthly the Ford/Chevy/Mopar/Yugo/Peugeot (love that one)/Fiat (Suicide will get me for that)/WHATEVER bashing roast.... but it took a turn when El~SUPERBEASTO turned the tables & made a drag-wager bet. No harm done...

Anyways, the diff secret is "QUADRATRAC"... that is right boys.... pour some of that crap in there w/ some Slick 50 & she will amaze ya. (Not even Chuck Norris knows this)

lol rirgsby and who knows my mind may have been looking at it wrong if so ill be the first to tell beast my bad
got alotta dumbs shit going on here and prolly just took it wrong

Im in need of a right door latch for a 1935 ford 2-door sedan right now can anybody help I dont know how to put this on line someone help please
