Washed the car today and even got to take the t-tops off. Anyway, heres some of the pics I snapped which show the tints better than the ones I had before. I also have a burnout video and some other video clips, but fbody.com has a file size limit

How bigs the vid? I might be able to host it.
Try changing your rear end fluid, I heard that it helps out quite a bit for some people.
It was real warm here, and I washed and cruised in my winter car. The Iroc sat under its cover

Well ive read some posts of people complaining of there posi being sluggish and working when it wanted to. Then they changed the fluid, and put in the gm additive, and they said it worked great.
It might help...

Slayer- I sent you my videos. Thank you very much for hosting them
Car looks good.
Don't do anymore burnouts with the one wheel spinning anymore! It will tear up the clutches in the posi unit. Change the fluid and put in the limited slip additive from GM and you should be OK as long as you didn't burn it up already.

Thanks guys
Is the limited slip additive only available at the dealer or can I get it at Autozone or other parts places? Will normal driving hurt it any more?

Be careful there buddy. I wasnt having any problems with my rear but it was above the 20,000 mile service interval for my rear. Had a shop change the fluid and they "said" they added the posi additive. It started making all kinds of noise and eventually the rear end blew taking the trans out with it. That was one expensive rear end fluid change. Id say if your posi isnt working stop driving it and get it to someone fast to have them take a look at it. Rebuilding a 9 bolt is expensive. Maybe Speed Inc. or FLP can check it out for ya. Good luck buddy.
she's a beauty. I agree with the fluid change, but after you put it in, and then periodically, go to a parking lot and drive a few figure eights, right and left turns....the guy who did my gears said it would help to get the fluid up where it needs to be. I tried it and whenever mine acted weird that's what I did. Seemed to work, believe it or not.
