As a group, what have we decided? Let it be or get more diff fluid in the unit?
I have 2700 miles, but it doesn't sound like something that will go away, more likely something that will increase over time. Friction increases, it doesn't go away over time.

I had exactly the same as you describe. Per my post #25 above, the different fluid solved the noise immediately and completely, and I notice no difference in performance. I would recommend it.
