Default Quick Question!

For those that have changed their rear diff fluid, did you scrape off the old sealant/gasket before applying the rtv?? Mines draining now....

weed, we need to add a rule that you must have a specific subject in the title of a thread...I hate these "help with this" or "I have a question" threads...i think it would help members and nonmembers searching if we had that rule

Hey Weed I read that tutorial but no where does it say anything about cleaning off the old sealant cause his 2500 has a gasket. And Matt im sorry i wasnt more specific with my thread title, I just needed a quick answer and i was in a rush. and yes, i did search before posting the thread.

LOL....well i think it is a given that it you want to seal something or reseal something you will need a good clean flat surface.
