It's not for everyone, but if you like to tinker a little, the he351ve vgt off the newer trucks is a small upgrade.

 

Kind of is but small exhaust housing of a 9cm2. The only different between is mine is a 60/60/12 and the HE351 is a 60/60/9. Hybrid HX35/40 breathes better.

Thanks guys for the responses. Been out of town and haven't had the opportunity to reply. Did check and there was oil in the rearend. Thought I might drain some out and add some friction modifier. What brand should I use? 

I typically just buy the NAPA 85w-140 with modifier included. Just pour in.

Most auto parts stores will have the additive in one brand or another, I would think any of them would be fine.

I know the CW is a 9cm2, but the VE is the vgt with 3-25.

Now you need to modify even more to fit it and then build a controller to use it. Consult @Me78569 he's been there and back.

I use Sta-Lube EQUA-TORQUE differential friction modifier made by CRC.  It meets GM#1052358, Ford #M2C118-A and Chrysler #4318060.  It comes in a 4 oz tube and is enough for most diffs.

Thanks Joe. I will look into it when I get back to town. Had to rent a truck to pull the camper on vacation we had planned. Couldn't let the family down.
