Not positive but I don't think the Eaton G80 locker needs the Posi-trak additive. The additive is for the clutches.

Well right now I am happy they did not find a problem, but I am still a little worried it will pop its ugly head when I move back to FL and start towing my boat.

My current boat is 6,000lbs tow weight. Although I will be getting a new one that will weigh 8,000

I hope the stress from towing doesn't screw it up to the point of catastrophic failure.

My last two chevy trucks are almost near 200k and they never had a warranty issue, so I guess I'm overdue to encounter issues on this one
