For the cost of new fluid, it's worth a shot to change the fluid out and add a LSD additive and keep your finger crossed. Unfortunately, the damage may already be done. Even changing out the fluid may not help. The only way you can tell would be to take the 3rd member out and inspect clutches and clearances.
Well spoke with Detroit and this is what they said:

"The 90wt oil is a good choice for a Truetrac, friction additive is not required and should not be used."

He seems to think it is due to the differances in tire wear... i measured from ground to top and only get about 1/2 -3/4 inch differance, he thinks its enough any one else have experiance in this area?
