I wish I could have recorded a sound bite of the noise. It wasnt your typical 'click click click' from a posi. It was a horrendous chatter, almost sounded like bare metal on metal. I cant believe a few ounces of additive made all that difference.

yup, amazing, isnt it? my rear would do it on a cool down run after doing a few burnouts on junk tires. the first time it scared me, then i realized what it was. it only did it maybe 3 times

I thought that limited-slip rear ends were standard in 4th Gen, But I bought an '02 brand new that had an open diff.

RPO G80 Limited slip rear is a GM option that you pay extra for. On some models it is a required option, but the original owners still paid for it. Other models it was not required unless ordered.
