I agree, hot tank the whole thing? no.
what I have done though, is to use a parts washer with mineral spirits to clean the whole thing, inside and out, using a wire brush.
finished product was a perfectly clean, and bone dry differential on the inside, minor surface rust on the outside.
after I use air to blow it dry, I sprayed everything inside down with WD40 immediately before anything started to flash rust. then, I squirted 30 weight oil straight into the bearings before reassmbly. once installed, I degreased the outside again with oil, wax, grease remover, and painted it.
but, again, this was on a mid-50s Packard with a standard open diff.
I don't know what parts washer solvent may do to the clutches in your sure grip.
