I just ordered a 02' dj2, and heard they make creaking noises from dust/debre getting between the 2-piece-lowers. Is this true? If true, then wouldn't putting duct tape where the 2-piece-lowers meet prevent creaking?

They creaked because of tolerances distorting between crown and stanchion. The new 2003 forks that have larger stanchions among other structural refinements should stop this.

I think it's good that they were out of stock, get a 2003.
