I tried to suck the oil out of my 9.75" diff and I couldn't get the tube from my suction gun into the diff. There wasn't room to get it in there as I remember.
The limited slip in my old 2000 is still working great at 145k. It hasn't seen a lot of off roading, just easy highway miles mostly. If you have huge tires and off road you probably need a mechanical locker. One thing that will kill it in a hurry is when you get into a situation where one wheel has traction and the other has none and you stand on the gas causing the clutches to slip. This happened to me when my rear drive car was stuck on sand. One rear wheel was on the road and the other on the sand on the shoulder. The eaton posi would not lock up in this situation and drive off the shoulder. I was smart enough not to sit there and burn up the posi clutches.
If you step on the gas a little going around a corner, you will feel the clutches locking up if you want to test it.
