REAR TIRES ARE SLIPPING. CHANGED GEAR OIL AND ADDED BOTTLE OF TRANS-X. DID NOT FIND EXCESSIVE ARE ANY LARGE METAL PART IN OLD OIL. SEEMED LIKE IT CLEARED UP FOR FIRST 20 MILES THEN STARTED AGAIN.

Are the tires spinning or does it see as if the trans is slipping?

Have you tried to lift the rear of the vehicle to see if there is additional drag on one side?

YES. BOTH TIRES TURN FINE OFF THE GROUND. NO GRINDING SOUND OR FEELING.

The only other thing I can think of is if you used a limited slip additive when it was serviced.
