Limited Slip Sliping/ Sta-Lube Equa- torque
Changed the oil in the rear LS differential (1997 SB , off-road 4x4, auto )and added a whole tube of "Sta Lube " Equa-torque" as directed. But I'm wondering since the LS Differential only takes 2 qts of oil whether I may have added too much and if this could cause a problem?

Do you have a book for your truck? Or even the owners manual. You should fill it to the bottom of the fill plug, unless I am wrong. If so how could you overfill it?

No such thing as a "Limited Slip" rear differential in any 1997 GM Light Duty Truck.
There is a G80 Eaton Locking Differential and it requires no special additives since it utilizes no clutches.

Well it sure doesn't lock. Does that mean its worn out? Seems to lock better with the additive. But maybe I should drain and replace with no additive?

Are you sure that your truck is equipped with the locking rear axle option code G80?
Most were not.
If you placed the additive in fresh gear lube it will not harm your rear end but synthetic 75w90 is highly recommended and what all new Silverado's are shipped from the factory with since 1999.

When you open the door of your glovebox you'll see a "Service Parts Identification" sticker with about 2 dozen three digit alpha-numeric codes.
A thread search here at CF should give you a post which deciphers these codes.

read up on how the G80 locker works. I have 50k miles of towing and offroad hell on my truck and the locker works the same as the day it was new. Its useless above about 10mph - maybe less.
