i have a 2012 express with "LSD" i think and today it started sliping then catching on takeoff.
i havnt noticed it before so i am wondering if i should be worried about this.
it doesnt do it if u are moving, but only from a dead start.
also doesnt do it if u "granny" take off but it does do it under normal driving conditions

PLZ HELP

Under what I define as normal driving conditions does not involve my rear tires spinning, so my LSD does nothing. Are you sure the "slipping" you are referring to is LSD related?

Also,I like the take to dealer idea for warranty work lol.

That's called the tires spinning then catching traction. Does the TC light flash on the dash? Or do you have it turned off?

I have an LSD. You can't tell it's there until you turn the Traction Contol off. I've had serveral situaltion, both mud and snow, where one wheel will simply spin. I find myself turning off the TC enough that I really question the effecitvness. As far as I'm concerned the Traction Control system is simply more electronic BS that is not needed
