Why is there a TSB specific to the ZL1 then, if they were all the same it would apply to all.

the clutch pack in the ZL1 rear is more aggressive than the SS. Maybe the friction material on the disc surface or the spring pressure is greater in the ZL1 posi unit? No doubt it works well and is very tough. Just use the correct GM LS gear oil and definitely change it after break in at 1500 miles. Some unlucky souls have had true issues with improper setup, backlash, bearings, etc...but these problems are rare.

Clutch based limited slips have been around since the 50's. There is nothing special about the one in the ZL1. Just because GM wrote a TSB doesn't mean it's a new problem. How many diffs have you rebuilt? And actually set pinion depth and backlash? They all make noise if not set up correctly. The T2R is the diff they should have used for the ZL1.
