Default Diff fluid?
What differential fluid does the OG crew recommend?

Jerry I forgot what we bought last time Redline something?

I've been using that Mobil-1 75w-90 gear oil. My diff hasn't blown up yet, and it's available at most auto parts stores.

Ditto. I have used the LE product with no ill effects, but it isn't readily available.

Only changed fluid once so far, use Redline (forgot what weight). I can't really tell the difference from the stock stuff. My hope is that it at least helps a little with shock protection.

LE's the good stuff, but you gotta order it IIRC. Both of my changes were with Royal Purple 75/90 and it held in just fine.

I don't know how you could, except by hearing a big clunk and then a nasty grinding noise coming from the back end.
