BIG 10-4! on using the rubber vacuum caps....I do that all the time....they work perfect for that application. As far as the locker being noisy during coast....that doesn't sound right. The only thing I can think of that could do that is different tire diameters....try a tire rotation and see what happens. It's also possible you have a sloppy driveline....pinion is a little loose and clunks back and forth and is aggravated by the near 1/4 turn of typical locker play. And yes, a heavier oil will quiet up the click-click noises from lunchbox lockers.


Matt16---You did such a nice job of 3rd member removal/Aussie install that when I get home in a couple hours I will add this thread to one of my Aussie install links. Your write-up will 'enhance' or give a breathe of fresh air to my Aussie install link. I might put your write up on this one shown near the bottom of this page....

ZUK was what my friends in 1990 "tagged' me with when I was building a brand new white 1990 Sami for a magazine cover. The name stuck and I haven't been able to shake it off....not even with antibiotics.
