flint54 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Anyone ever try one of these? http://lubelocker.com/products/products/view/5/12 Seems a bit pricey at $20, but reuseable and no more RTV.
Motion Offroad Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Matt @ LL says that they are not "reusable". It's more of a warranty thing than anything though. We've gotten 3 uses out of them; then they start to leak. They are a quality product though.
UNL1MTD Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Maybe I'm just lucky but I've been using them in my D30 and D44 on my LJ for about 3 years and about 10 or so changes with no issues. It makes life very easy when it comes time to change diff fluid.
Automan2164 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Or you could just spend the .99 on a tube of RTV, and be done with it. Rob L.
flint54 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 RTV must be more abundant in your area. Permatex RTV around here is more like 5 bucks, then factoring in the time to scrape and solvent wipe both sides, not to mention what I inevitably get on myself, if this gasket lasts a few rounds it seems I'm ahead of the game.
91coMANche Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Lube locker is more for someone that constantly changes their diff fluid. For most of us with the sense to just raise the breather tube and check for fluid in the oil before just haphazardly draining the fluid, RTV would make much more sense. Further, RTV is a positive seal that bonds to both surfaces.
