[mista_sup]

is there a way to clean out all the gook in your lsd.. is there something you can run in it.. also the same for your trani...

kerosen in the lsd (took idea from mod. on here) and spin the wheels a bit on jack stands. Drain and fill with your choice gear oil

For the trans i did a drain and fill with some cheap oil from wally world. After about 500 miles I drained that and put in the redline mt-90.

What we used at the GM dealership to clean out truck diffs and such was actually brake/parts cleaners. The stuff you buy in an aerosol can. You can spray it enough that it collects and flows down to the drain, taking the gunk with it, and then after you're done you leave it for about 10 minutes and it is all evaporated.

a truck diff would be easy as hell, take the cover off and have at it!

Yeah, that is true, but I wouldn't see why spraying it through the fill hole on a sealed diff and rotating the gears wouldn't do the same trick.
