gotta hear my story and i have a question
« on: Feb 23, 2008, 08:54:09 PM »
so i put dual cases on my runner about two weeks ago. could find any heavy duty tubing to make a tough rear drive shaft so i got a old one from my buddy and pais some money to have it redone to my spec length and since i paid so much to it done i decided i woul have that as my DD drive shaft and just shorten my old one myself to use as my crawlin shaft. well the one i shortened is a little crooked.....just a little :_oops2: . so i was on my way to go snow wheelin today and i was noticing the vibration was a little bad(not much worse than my old bent one was)so im on the free way for about 15 miles almost to sac and the all the suddin i smell gear oil and the vib gets worse. long strory not so short. there was so much vibration that it heated up my t-case so much that it accually blew the rear two gaskets out of the t-case. had to get it towed home :(. anyway thats the story.

my question is when i put my cases together i used the gaskets the kit came with with grey RTV gasket sealer on both side of the gasket.
what do most of you guys do?

told my buddy i would ask about the EBAY 27 spline chromos.
are they legit or would you not trust them?

thanx for the help in advance

Use the grey RTV on both sides, and BE SURE that the mating surfaces are clean.  Don't trust the Ebay bull crap.

if upgrading axles... got with bobby longs www.longfieldsuperaxles.com if you cant afford it and want one that is better than stock, get the marlin umo6

grey rtv on both sides sounds right
