I LOVE the copper silocone!! I use it on everything!
Arnald Wannabe......I didn't torque mine....i never do. Thin layer of silocone on the cover, around the holes!, and tighten it down little bit at a time....working from the top down. That puts silocone more towards the bottom where it's prone to dribble. Tighten til you think they're tight enough! At least that's how i do it.

I realy wish i had started this earlier. It took me about 2 hours tochange the rear diff fluid, but I haven't had it done since I bought the truck over 5 years and 41,500 miles ago so i thought it was time.
I followed the instructions and i think everything should be fine. The old fluid was a thick and gray, is this to be expected?

Was it "milky"?? Milky oil.....is water and oil mixed....looks kinda like milk. The best diff fluid i've drained....was SUPER DUPER thick...and green. 25yr old axle you know...lol. My transfer case fluid was brown at only 75k!
That's good you got it done though. I like to get the cover super duper clean before installing.

It looked kind of like thinned paint. I sitll have it and may take a picture.
It is quite possible there was some water in there. I just had a pinion seal leak fixed two days ago. I would guess that it is the color that the oil would be after not being changed for almost 6 years.
The manual states I needed 75w-140 full synthetic and a friction modifier. I didn't find any metal shavings and I haven't had any issues with the rear axle. I hope I am fine.

I think I am too, but I don't have any experience to actually say I am. Heck i didn't even stay at a quality inn last night.

copper RTV is for exhaust stuff only
blue RTV is ok for some things like thermostat housings, but not what i use in the shop.
black RTV is the best all purpose sealant, it can be used on just about everything that calls for a RTV type sealant and is my professional choice.
you guys should really read the package close and try to understand it.
