Ford 8.8 axle swap

<< < (16/43) > >>

FYI:  in case you weren't aware.  SOLID is the same thing as the old Rock Krusher.
They're only $99 ... when you're spending $55 for just a ring, is that really that much more?
The other thing I would suggest, because I have personally fallen in love with them, is lubelocker gaskets.

Axle:
You mean like RTV?  That's what I use now.  It's great when you're like me and you break things alot.  Other than that, that stuff leaks like crazy!

AWESOME!

I've got them on both my diffs, and my transmission fluid pan.

Makes getting in and out a lot cleaner and easier, and no leaks.

Axle:
Thanks, I think I'll try those out.  Not too bad on the price.  I always carry RTV on the trail anyway, so if for some reason I can't reuse the gasket, then I have a backup.  I must say, RTV is a pain.

albsvx:
they've got a metal core, so I'd imagine they take a lot of abuse before they can't be used anymore, but I haven't owned mine long enough to really say.

I always end up making a huge mess with rtv, and end up with leaks afterwards anyway.  :)

but I'm a slob.
