So, I'm a fan of lube lockers and have been using them for a year. Was on their website looking for my current axles and checked out the F&Q. Did you know they're only designed for one time use?! This whole time I thought they were reusable. I pulled the cover multiple times. Oh well. I'll probably stick with them and reuse them until I have a leak.

I've taken them off twice on my 08 and the moved them to my '12 and have been taken off once there. So far no leaks 
Kind of the reason I got them, no more messy RTV and having to clean and reapply it.

I don't know about diffs, but at work (I work on F-18s), we use red rtv on anything that sees above 500 degrees. There's always JP5 and oil in and around a lot of those areas and I've never seen that stuff deteriorated. If it can withstand JP5, I think it can hold up to gear oil.
