you guys are talking about two different driving styles. Sounds like Rocco likes to slid around turns with the back loose and newguy likes to roll through turns with the rear planted. Two separate driving styles call for two different setups.
Thicker oil in the rear diff will cause your truck to push under power in the turns (because it acts more "posi"). Thicker oil in the rear will allow you to steer using throttle just by punching it so the "posi" feel can work to your benefit if that's your driving style.
Thinner oil in the rear will give you better grip/control under power through the turns. Again, it's all how YOU want to drive the truck.
I personally like to (for the most part) drive fast into the corner and "roll/coast" through, off power. Some people blast into the corner, pitch the truck sideways and slide around the turn.
So both Rocco and Newguy are right, they obviously just drive differently so different setups will act .....differently
