I found out years ago how to reduce the severity of the detroit when I had the locker in my wrecker snap into itself on a stretched out turn on a mountain road with a full load on the back. Talk about squirrelly at 50 mph. Anyways I drained the diff and pulled the cover thinking I had broken something but didn't. When replacing the oil I put in 2 quarts of Reline Shock Proof and 2 quarts of regular 85/90. Never had that clunk again and it was much quieter.
