Is it a grinding noise or a chatter? Front or rear differential? and
... how many miles are on your truck?

Dr.D: Its a chatter when you turn L or R. only noticed after truck has been driven 20-30 miles. truck is a 1999 4x4, 5.2L V8 with 70,000. bought used, not sure if diff. oil has ever been changed.
drives fine just around town.

AMSOIL Slip-Lock Differential Additive
Effectively Eliminates Gear Housing Chatter
When making a turn, the outer wheels of a vehicle must travel faster than the inner wheels. It is up to the differential to act as a balance arm, establishing constant equilibrium of torques and forces between the left-hand and right-hand driven wheels. In standard (or open) differentials, power is directed to the wheel offering the least resistance. This works well when making a turn, but in a situation where one wheel is lifted off the ground, it causes the suspended wheel to turn while the other remains motionless.
Limited-slip (or positraction) and locking differentials are traction-increasing devices. Locking differentials transfer all available torque to both wheels. The teeth of the spider assembly engage with those on the locker clutch, causing both axle shafts to operate as one. Locking differentials don't allow one drive wheel to spin while the other remains stationary. Instead, they keep both wheels in drive mode, but unlock to permit different wheel speeds when turning. The engaging and disengaging of the teeth on automatic locking differentials often causes a banging and clunking sound. Manual locking differentials usually use an electric motor or vacuum diaphragm to engage the locker, reducing this noise.
Limited-slip differentials allow different wheel speeds when turning, but when one wheel loses traction, greater torque is transferred to the wheel offering more resistance. Limited-slip differentials make use of friction between clutch plates, as opposed to the meshing teeth employed by locking differentials. Transferring less torque per side, limited-slip differentials are generally smoother and quieter than locking differentials, but still sometimes "chatter" when transferring torque to the wheel with traction.
In some differential applications, a friction modifier additive is necessary to reduce chatter. AMSOIL Slip-Lock Differential Additive is formulated with advanced friction modifiers and is designed to eliminate gear-housing chatter in cars, trucks and SUVs equipped with limited-slip, positraction and locking differentials. It also reduces the banging and clunking associated with automatic locking differentials.
AMSOIL Slip-Lock Differential Additive is formulated for use with both synthetic and petroleum gear lubricants and safely replaces manufacturer recommended friction modifiers. Its convenient flip-top dispenser provides quick and easy application to the gear housing. One four-ounce bottle of Slip-Lock treats differential capacities of two to four quarts.
It is not for use in automatic transmissions or other applications requiring ATF.
NOTE: AMSOIL Synthetic Gear Lubes DO NOT require the use of this additive. However, not all differentials respond the same and if chatter is noticed, the addition of AMSOIL Slip-Lock will eliminate it. For chattering differentials not running AMSOIL Gear Lube, this product is an excellent solution to the problem.

Well I changed my rear diff. oil with amsoil 75-90 and added the additive. Helped some but noise still there. Someone said they had this problem after using a different brand additive and then they put in mopar additive and it solved their problem. What do you think?

sounds like an uneducated answer to me. I don't have a limited slip rear on my truck but the std 75W-90 gear oil from AMSOIL works in MOST cases for limited slip rears, sometimes you need an additive. Is the AMSOIL 75w-90 any good, well just had frt and rear pumpkin fluid analyzed after 90000 miles, here is the quote I recieved from the analyzer:
Those are good looking reports..wear levels are very low given service time on oil.
Oh, and another thing, the rear was 10 ounces low on fluid when I topped it off after taking the sample. Apparantly the tech. who changed the fluid for me way back at 4000 miles didn't fill it to the max.

Hey big blue, that oil analysis says that the oil is good relative to its service life, but is the wear good relative to normal oil changes? you knwo what I mean? say you had 10% wear on the diff. using the oil for 90k miles, what if you could have only gotten 5% wear if you chcanged your oil regularly, im not hating, im just saying, companies like to get people by the way they word phrases, and 'Those are good looking reports..wear levels are very low given service time on oil." soundslike one of them, and not to say, the oil analyzer doesnt sound very intelligent by saying 'Those are good looking reports..wear levels are very low given service time on oil.'

based upon my dealings with Oil Analyzers, they are up front about everything, they tell it like it is. I have dealt with the same guy on every analysis they have done for me; oil, trans, power steering, differentials, he knows the history of my truck, and over almost 100,000 miles, AMSOIL has proven what they advertise and he even can't beleive how well/low the wear levels are in my truck. My guess is the brainwashing you have received in your life stating that oils have to be changed in very short intervals clouds your ability to believe anything else is possible. For me, AMSOIL has proved that this is completely bogus. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to believe what is best. It is very gratifying to me to know I am getting more than what I paid for. Sorry if you took offense to what I said, just trying to be honest, sometimes it comes off real bad.
