I use a GReddy diff cover.
Thanks Mike! Definitely understand that everyone is different and will generate different levels of heat in their differential. Also agree with the not generating as much heat if not slipping, I think there is always some level of friction generating heat when the car is in motion.

Did you notice any overheating without the GReddy diff cover? Or was it precautionary?
