Well I took the rear diff out and put 2 shims between the pinion (? smaller gear of the 2) and the bearing it spins on to keep it pressed more against the big gear (bevel?). This seemed to kill about 50% of the noise, though it still makes a little. Its much better than before so Im happy and am just going to leave it as is. The front still needs it but Im in no mood to take the front apart to get to it right now haha.. (even though they are easy access diffs, my warhead tower mounting bracket is in the way and its a pain to get off...)

The shims I used werent the right size (too big diameter) but they arent big enough to make it a problem... hope not anyway!
