Agreed on the later-series diffs. One of our local club members spent
beaucoup bucks on his "quiet" differential only to find that the measurable
difference in relative noise level wasn't all that measurable in practise.
Some of our mob tried making rubber bushings and tried to install them as
vibration dampers betwixt frame and diff, but most of the guinea-pig
vehicles I've driven didn't seem to offer much by way of improvement. As
always - mileage varies.
