Need torque specs for Dana 80 OEM cover for 2500

[klenger]

I traded my 01. 5 SWB 2500 5 speed for a LWB 2500 HO 6 speed, and need to transfer the Mag-Hytec differental cover from the old truck to the new one, and install the OEM cover back on the old truck.



What type of sealant does Dodge recommend for the cover?



What are the torque specs for the bolts for the OEM cover?



Any tips to keep the cover from leaking?



You're expert advice is much appreciated.

I would use Permatex and the torque is 30 ft. lbs.

I use gray permatax and I don't torque to any specs. I just tighten down until enough silicone has oozed out.
