The type of rear end with the tapered cone clutches MUST have the additive in it. The clutch-pack types will work with regular gear lube. It won't hurt to add the stuff the dealer sells to either type of rear end, but without it, you'll have nothing but grief from cone clutches. Try a drain & refill with GM limited slip additive before doing anything else.
