      Thanks for the info, guys. I really appreciate it.

      Ran down to CarQuest and picked up 2 qts. of 80w-90 and a tube of blue RTV silicone (boy, does that bring back memories . . . . :drug: ). Also grabbed a tube of Sil-Glyde lube. Gonna try it on the vertical window tracks so those big windows move a little easier.

        I actually prefer the OEM black silicone, but blue works.

        Remember, you want a thin bead of silicone (about 1/8") let it partly cure, usually about 20-25 mins before you put the cover back on.

            Sil-Glyde lube? That sounds like something better suited to a more intimate environment than this.

              I take it that the easiest way is to apply the silicone to the differential, not the cover.

              How do I seal around the bolt holes? Any certain way or just go completely around 'em?

                I went completely around each bolt whole, just for good measure, though running on just the inside or the outside I don't think would cause an issue.
