What do you suggest the diff be filled with? I could fill it with bearing grease or something really heavy. LOL

This might also help with the leaking problem.
It comes filled with 500k, and people still say that's way too thin. The problem is it only has 2 spider gears instead of 4 like in normal 1/8 diffs. Less gears means less ability for the viscous oil to apply resistance.

People have tried all kinds of diff lock greases and thick stuff in it. I'm not sure how successful they've been though. It sounds like 1/8 hybrid is the way to go if you want a CD. I'm only speaking from what I've read, but once I build mine I'll let you know how it works.
