I don't think a 1/2 ton D/D would spread the housing on a normal trip back and forth to work!

That maybe why you don't see them for other axles.

Whenever i seal up a diff i always do a tight skim coat of black rtv on the housing before the gasket, put the gasket on, then a real tight skim on that before putting the pan on. Torque the bolts easy and let it set before filling it up. Seems to work pretty well. Sweet video and your truck sounds NICE.

Probably not.

Unless you let people like my brothers drive it.

Anymore, 90% of the time when I install diff covers I use sealer only and no gasket. Works great. I bet a skim coat will help seal yours up.

Thanks,
Clear sealent no gasket today. Tomorrow when I wake up I'll filler up and take it for another ride.
I'm off Tuesday night so I will have a night video for everyone maybe under the hood.

Guys sorry I never put up this video before. I thought I had. The first video it leaked. This one is good. It also shows the rear shock locator kit and adjustable track bar.

Thanks guys,
once I get all the little stuff fixed I will make some more video's I hope.

That's really interesting how the oil gets a little foamed up. But man does it keep the gears well lubed. I must be weird, I watched the whole 9+ minutes....

I must be really weird I have watched it a bunch of times. I guess I'm just watching differant things to see if there is anything I need to work on. I need to get the new exshaust done sometime.

It looks like mustard in a blender

I like it.

Andy4639 · 02-05-2013, 09:38 PM

Here are some updated pictures and not one drip since I sealed it up.
