John,
Im not to sure about the service light thing, although I think you
are right, the dealer controls that. Mine is on too for a worse
reason. They didnt disconnect my battery when they welded my exhaust
up. Set off the sign! Limited slip is great for me in the snow. I
have a 5.9 with 4.10 sure grip. Im in Michigan and you know how it can
be up here! I drive my dak all year and never had a problem with it.
Ive been stuck in front of my house before! But Never have I been STUCK
STUCK!
