Lubelocker differential gaskets.. Used one?
 

Well, for some reason my front diff. (D30) sealing job apparently was'nt
'all that' as I found a couple of drops of 75/140 on the garage floor.
Further inspection found the bottom bolt wet. aggghh.

Took real pains with the ultra black too, oh well.

That being said, anyone have good or bad to say about the Lubelocker
gaskets? Apparently steel? gasket with 3 or so pre-applied lines of
some sort of RTV. Bolt up and go.

Good or bad? I've done 4 diffs now with ultra black and 3 held, one
did'nt , had a nice bead on this one too.

:(

thanks
Marc

I've found that a good whack from a rock or stump or whatever will cause
even the best of RTV beads to spring leaks. The Lubelocker seems like a good
idea, but I can pick up a tube of RTV just about anywhere for next to
nothing.

I used Permatex #77B Ultra Blue on both my diffs about 13000 miles ago. So
far, no leaks.
