1 wheel peel cause? Low gear oil possibly?

Posted a few days ago about a possible 1 wheel peel problem that I may be having. I crawled under the car and noticed that the rearend is leaking fluid pretty good out of the front pinion yoke. Could low fluid possibly cause the diff to work incorrectly? I'm sure it could but would filling it back up help regain 2 wheel traction? Thnks

Low fluid could have caused the posi to go out, but I doubt adding fluid is going to repair it.

If you pulled a one legger for awhile your posi is probably shot. Adding fluid is a good idea but won't bring back the 2 wheel hole shots. It'll probably stay a one wheeler till you replace the differential unit.

Shoebox, you got any write-ups on replacing the diff with one from an LS1 car? or SLP take-off? What about the front seal replacement? Thanks

Nope and nope. A search will probably net you some info.

I do know that on the rear end swap that you cannot mix axle shafts and brakes.

Cool, well not really but...., I'm currently looking for a complete rear outta a 98 up LS1 car. Isn't there an F-bod junkyard out there somewhere? I remember seeing a link for it some time ago.

That link might be able to help you with the install. Should be about the same procedure.
