What kind of Diff Fluid you running?
Just changed mine out today...had Amsoil 75-140 w/ Amsoil friction modifier.
No problems at all......but I change the diff fluid every 2500 miles ....so this time around I put in Royal Purple 85-140 that comes with the FM already in it.....
just curious what my fellow GoatHeads have in theirs....

Mebbe the Amsoil didn't engage the slip diff as quickly...hell I dunno...just feels like it hooks instantly.....is very quiet back there

Could be the FM additive? I know lots of people over use it and actually loose the posi because its too slick. I haven't used any FM in 15 years. I just use synthetic and change it every year and never have a problem.
So maybe the RP uses less FM than the Amsoil and since its not allowing as much slippage, you're using both wheels now.

Just have to realize that FM isn't needed at all. Its purely cosmetic. It could chatter until your teeth fall out, but it doesn't hurt the rear at all. All the FM does is cause it to slip so you don't feel it. If too much is used, you'll end up with 1 wheel burnouts.
