Dude I know people who have ran welded diffs for years with no problems besides going threw more tires.Sure it messes the tire up but all that other stuff you mentioned is fine.You can't even use capital letters or proper sentences and we are suppose to listen to you?

good luck!

UF is a joke.They try and pretend to be all prestigious so that people think they are a top school but they aren't, and outside of Florida people laugh when you say UF like it's M.I.T. or something its just another state school get over-yourself. Everyone that goes there thinks they are going to harvard or something but it's yet another state school and the haughtiness and people walking around with a stick up there *** like they are gods gift to this world gets old real quick.

Your University is in a ****ty town, what are you going to do on the weekends go ride the bull?

Before you make any accusations, I didn't even apply to go there because I hated the damn town and students so much when I visited my sister (who know thinks she's the **** because she went there even though she majored in elementary education.)
Sounds like somebody couldn't get in... UF is a top 50 school and for a southern public school with dirt cheap cost per credit hour, that's impressive. Where'd you go? USC?

Ah, the famous ACR. Whew, looks like I'll be lighting nothing on fire tonight.

Edit: Just noticed this was in the 240 section. As a policy, I don't venture in here because I'm allergic to stupid. So you two enjoy your rant, OP, sorry for dumping on your thread, and the rest of you, enjoy your secretary's cars!

i had a similar problem with the limited slip i got with my front clip. from stop if i had to turn hard my rear end would shake and both wheels would wanna spin at the same speed. first time i filled up the rear end with synthetic and one tube of additive - thats when i first noticed it. then i changed the gear oil with regular conventional oil and 2 tubes of of additive and now its 95% better. got the limited slip additive at advance auto parts.
