Default What type of loctite for driveshaft?

Putting in a drive shaft. I'm thinking blue (242) loctite for this one, but maybe red... I didn't need heat to remove a factory one hence thinking blue. Thoughts?

I would think blue. If you use red it might be a real SOB to remove next time, especially with the 12pt head on those bolts and trying to hold the drive shaft. I did not use anything loctite on mine.

we always use red high temp, as the rear end pinion gear, etc. area gets pretty hot but mainly because its stronger. I think not having those bolts back out at the worse situation is a good thing.
