Intersting "Shortstop" says that changing the LSD fluid with synthetic and using an additive fixed his problem, someone else want to give this a whirl?

The first thing my dealer did was put in the LSD additive, but it didn't work. And then they rebuilt the differential, but that didn't work either.
But since the new tires went on, it's been silent...

Interesting... I believe mine may have started around the time I put new tires on. Hmmm...

Turning Noise
Well I Have The Same Noises And I Believe It Is Normal For The All Wheel Drive System And The Way The Tranny Down Shifts When Slowing And Turning There Is Quite Alot Of Torque On The Drivetrain When Slowing And Turning At The Same Time Cause Of The Way The Tranny Downshifs My Drive Shaft Will Even Clunk A Bit When It Down Shifts Into First And I Believe And Have Been Told That It Is The Norm With These Things.and Hey There Vehigaz,when U Got It In 4 Low Do Not Make Quick Sharp Turns Cause U Will Get Alot Of Metal To Metal Grinding And Traction Slipping It Will Feel Like It Is Falling Apart And That Is Because The Knuckles That Manipulate The Spining Of The Front Wheels Can Not Manipulate That Fast At Such A Turn Radius If U Turn With It In 4 Low Make Slow Long Turns And Dont Turn The Wheel Too Far.well Im No Professional Ha Ha But I Think Im On The Right Track.willy

The silent streak has ended - since yesterday, it's making the sound again. :-(
UGH!! What the heck is wrong with this thing?!

WILLY - There is some "clunking" that is common with the VX transmission when shifting, though I hesitate to call it "normal". Good quality synthetic ATF seems to keep mine in line, and I hear the "Interceptor" that Tone Monday sells on his website can also improve tranny performance.
As for my VX, I still haven't narrowed my problem down yet but I'll be giving it a good once (or twice!) over this weekend. I'm leaning towards replacing my shocks - I think they're about due. We'll see if that makes any difference.
