Hey guys I just put form a gasket on my rear diff then realized i had the wrong gasket from napa. (foul words for them).

I should be able to just use the form a gasket right?

 

When I did the rear on my truck I just used some permatex. No leaks in the last year since I did it.

 

yeah, i used permatex too but my rear diff is a little wet, not dripping, just seeping i think

 

No need for a gasket, just RTV.

 

Just make sure everything is clean and dry and wipe out diff and use RTV!

 

Wow, I am such a loser at ****.

I can't find the hole now. On the top there is a sensor and a screw/bolt with some lines attatched to it. took that off, no hole. Impatiece and aggravation sets in and I break the sensor off. Wow Im a ****ing dip****. I am going get a beer and finish later.

 

we all have those days my man no worries tho take your time thats all we really have when it comes down to it the rest is just small ish!!!!

 

yep, our diffs call for RTV, although I have seen gaskets available.

Just make sure you scrape the old off both sides real good and let the sealant "set" for a few minutes before you replace the cover...

 

As said before, no gasket on mine, just RTV. My Auburn LSD came with a gasket and it went in the trash.

 

No gasket on mine.
