Default Problems with 12 Bolt

I've had my Moser 12-bolt for about a year and ever since I installed it, it's been clunking when turning slowly. I've always run two bottles of GM limited slip addative but it doesn't seem to help. I'm running 4.11's with 33 spline axles. Is there any way to fix this problem, is it serious and is it even a problem at all or are these Mosers supposed to do that? Also, what can be done about the gear whine? It sounds like I have a coyote riding in my car!

10k miles and 1 axle seal here. Mine started with the clunk and notchiness while turning. I replaced the gear oil and put in new additive. This seems to have helped for now. I have 3.73 gears and not much whine.

I would definitely stay away from any gear bigger than a 373. Anything bigger than that and you'll get gear whine really bad! I don't know what to tell you about Strange because I don't know anyone who uses one. If I had to do it again, I would've gotten a 9". Stronger and less problems from what my buddies tell me.
