They work well with both stock and aftermarket covers. I highly recommend.
 
If you just want to change the fluid the Dana 44 they have a drain in the bottom of the diff and a fill port. No reason to pull the cover unless you are changing gears.
I'd venture to say most of us pull the cover to inspect when we're changing the fluid.
 
I use one on the rear with an AEV cover. The bolts will back out every 12-16 months…I just retighten to torque spec.
this has more to do with the AEV covers than the gasket.
I have another one for the front but I dont remove the diff covers every time.
when I replace the diff fluid on my TJ next time I will probably install them When I refurb the stock covers.

Have you tried installing the bolts with medium strength threadlocker?

I have not. I’m sure that would fix it.it isn’t a big enough issue for me not to use the LL.
i had leaks when I used Gear Oil specific RTV…I think I just needed a better tool to squeeze the tube.
 
The biggest selling point for me is not having to wait for sealant to cure before filling the differential with oil, which allows you to immediately drive the vehicle after servicing.
Let's not forget the ease of cleaning the surface before re-installing
 
I used the lube locker gasket on my rear diff last fall. Thought my rear diff cover/gasket was leaking. Turned out to be the pinion seal. The LL gasket worked like a charm.

When I change my transmission fluid in another 25K I'm gonna get a Dorman pan with the drain plug and an LL gasket.
