Just to throw more out there, here is some from SMF - http://www.smfstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=112_162&products_id=337

I hope it works, as I have made the claim that if my diff screws back out I will eat the diff ... o.O

i use the samebrand that BMC linked, but the blue stuff. the blue isnt as strong, but it holds up well. just dont use the green stuff.....youll never get it back apart.

+1 Only use the Blue 242. If you use Red, like on engine screws you will increase your chances of striping them. Just go blue!

I use Great Planes loctite. Comes in a red bottle, however it is blue. It seems to hold the best for me. However, it's not that hard to drop out screws after a good coating of the stuff. :)
