Not sure what could be the cause of the limited slip not engaging any more, possibly worn clutch plates? i already checked diff fluid and put an ounce of limited slip additive in the diff and didnt do anything. both tires are worn the same on the back as well any one else had this problem within 63,000 miles?

What fluid are you using? I was using the fluid recommended in the owners manual and it was screwing my Trac-Lok up really bad. I switched to Walmart "Super Tech" regular dino fluid in the 85W140 flavor with LS additive and my stuff is smooth as butter now and the LS works better.

At 63,000 it's just pretty much worn out. It'll probably still spin both rears on snow, but not on pavement anymore.

A fluid change couldn't hurt, but it won't rebuild worn clutches. Here's something I found while researching the subject of a reubuild. Can't vouch for it. http://www.discountjeepparts.com/produc ... s_id/24245

You do realize the more limited slip additive you put in the rear, the more it slips right? You should drain the rear fluid, and just run some good Gear oil with limited slip additive already in it as already stated. You have to realize the factory Trac-Lok isn't like a detroit locker or anything. They will slip fairly easily, especially off road.

Jeep specifies their own synthetic rear diff lube and specific additive. Our experience with the TracLok is its only pretty useful for 35 to 40K miles. We have a factory ESP so it only costs $100 each time we have it rebuilt. I plan to install a Detroit TrueTrac when the warranty runs out.

You do not have ESP being as you have a '05,ESP didn't come around till '06 for any KJ.

No it was not,did not appear till model year 2006 in a KJ.Don't confuse ABS in a '05 as having ESP.To have ESP you must have the 4 channel ABS which a '05 does not have.

ESP refers to "Extended Service Plan". We have the DCJ "Maximum Care" 7/100 ESP. We paid $1800 for it prior to the expiration of the 3/36 warranty. We pay the first $100 each time the Jeep goes in for a warranty repair.

In this context we are talking about Electronic Stability Program.

Why bother,just get a Detroit True Trac and call it a day.No clutches to ever wearout and no friction modifier needed and 1000% better then any clutch based LSD.
