RE: question on differential

Anything and Everything will stick to the WD40, making a hell of a mess. If you are worried about the underside of your truck and components getting rusted, have it undercoated...

RE: question on differential

You would be better off to prime and paint it or undercoat it.

Just clean/prime & paint it.

Undercoating looks nasty & if you ever have to tear into it or the brake lines, wrenches orsockets won't fit till you clean them off.
