Ken,
I also have a '96 CC with a 3:55 SG rear. Mine is absolutely quiet; not a
sound. The figure 8 driving pattern is usually driven after changing your
differential fluid to circulate the fluid through the ??? (I can't remember
the part name). Anyway, I think you being fed a line. Get it checked
somewhere else.

Subject: DML: 96 LSD growl
I recently acquired a 96 Dak CC with a limited slip from a private sale.
Problem that I am having is this. After driving for a short while on the
highway (~7miles) and coming to a stop, there is a growl from the rear end
that sounds like it is going to come apart. I have an extended warranty on
the truck and am taking it in for the dealer who 'owns' the warranty to look
at it. I talked to the service dept and the guy has looked at this vehicle
before (with the previous owner). He claims that it is 'normal', that it is
the clutches in the LSD that get 'tightened up when driving straight for
extended times'. And that I should go to a parking lot and drive in figure
8's for while to loose them up.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this normal? I have driven quite a few
trucks and have never heard anything like this before.
