Whining chattering at turns
I have a 2006 scab and when I'm turning at spped it has a whining sound coming from the rear end and it chatters when I'm turning from a dead stop I changed the diff fluid probly eight-nine months ago and then again when I had this same problem about a month ago and both times I added friction modifier Is there anything else I can do to fix this I don't currently have a lot of money to put in this and I just want this fixed thanks in advance for the help

Based on everything that I've come across if changing the fluid and adding friction modifier didn't fix it then it sounds like it's time to change the clutch plates in the differential. My truck has never done this but I'm replacing the factory LS with a Detroit Truetrac so that I don't ever have to worry about it. I'm sure other folks will chime in with their assessment of your situation.

Ok thanks that's what not what I wanted I here do you think it would hurt to change the fluid again because when I did it last time I used cheaper oil and friction modifier from pep boys Should I try it again and get the modifier from ford and what brand oil should I use I used the cheapest stuff they had when I did it because I was low on money at the time

A lot of people said good things about using the 75-140 Royal Purple full synthetic WITH the friction modifier. Most said they didn't need any extra XL-3 modifier. It's worth a shot to see if this helps but nobody here can guarantee that it will fix it. Cross your fingers and hope that it does. These clutch plates do burn out and sometimes there's nothing left to do but replace them. If you want to save some money and replace the clutch packs yourself I found this video on the Tube......

Some folks are saying to add a bottle of XL-3 no matter the brand of oil you use. It won't hurt anything. Try the Royal Purple first and if it cures your issue then great, but if it doesn't then it won't hurt to add a bottle of XL-3 to see if that helps any.
