Very true tyler, with the l/s or the torsen l/s I believe they work better if the right amount of friction addetive is in, with out it it will just slip, not a hundred % sure but I believe that's wright. so adrian did you check your diff fluid level. if I 'm wrong with my reasoning then somebody will say so. to the OP good luck with the find in Florida :)

friction modifier in ford diffs, i believe makes the synth fluid slipperier, which will cause the clutches to slip so that you can go around corners, (think of it as oil on your brakes) if you don't add the fluid, the clutches grab much harder, and works more LIKE a locker, but will still slip at a certain point, the problem with this, is when it does slip, it's like burning the clutch in your trans, it will wear them right out!
this is how i was described when i worked at an oil and lube place... weither or not it is correct is another story...
and i'm not sure, but mopar and/or gm may do it the opposite way, where the friction modifier makes the lube LESS slippery, but i don't think so

swoop what dealer is it at?
also, as for the "colour" of the "bumpeur". it is kind of odd and the "speedometeur" is probably in km/h the mudflaps are nasty. as for the torsen, the axle tubes will be 3.25 if it is a 31 spline and 3" if it is a 28 spline "axeul" "torseun" MUHAHA

Man I'm Canadian and I don't even know what the "Canadian way" is. I just spell whatever looks right haha. And i think thats usually the america way. Silly french are responsible for half the stereotypes haha
Yeah I swapped out for the maple too...I also add gravy and cheese to my gas in the summer. Helps with fuel economy so much! Poutine...ftw...

Oh and it's not colour, it's couleur, and bumper is... well... idk what it is in french, same with torsen and axel lol

The use of friction modifier is specified for Ford's clutched L/S, the Tracton-Lok, to reduce the static friction although the diff will function well without it - aside from the annoying chatter.
Gear type L/S diffs like the Torsen and Eaton Truetrac use a metal to metal interface that has far lower static friction, thus no chatter. They do not require friction modifier.
