    Better on or off??

    Rattling front windows

    Viscous Coupling?

    Its hard when trying to give answers to peoples questions on forums, you just don't know how much knowledge the OP has on the subject, those of us who know how viscous diffs work and manual diff locks, and what the big drum on the prop shaft actually is don't need a detailed answer.
