REAR END

[Archive]

MY REAR END SEEMS TO BE LOCKING UP A LITTLE AROUND TURNS. IVE PURCHASED AMSOIL SYN FLUID, DOES THE REAR END COVER NEED A GASGET OR OR JUST THE BLUE GASGET CEMENT. ALSO THE REAR IS LSD, DO I NEED THE ADDITIVE FROM CHRYSLER. IM NOT A GOOD SPELLER.

With the stock cover, just use the silicone sealant, no gasket. I use the Amsoil lube, but I found I needed to use the limited slip additive from Chrysler to keep the clutches happy.

I have Amsoil Series 2000 75-90 with no additional additive. Seems to be just fine.

Just rebuilt the rear differential in my truck, it spun the drivers side main bearing on the differential carrier. It would have helped if the previous owners had serviced it, the pan had not been off. Therefore no change of fluid, ever!! Should change it every 30,000 miles or so, or once a year. I should have changed it when I got the truck but just had not done it yet, probably would not have helped the bearing was too far gone when I got it.
I did it all myself, lot of fun!! except I did have machine shop pull and replace some of the bearings that I could not pull. It cost me just over $200. 00 for the bearings and seals, $50. 00 for tools (2 and 9/16 inch socket for spindle nut). I took Friday 12/1/00 off and worked on it, finished about 6:30pm. Now I am very sore!!!!
I had to grind down the shoulder that the driver's side carrier bearing presses against (by opening to axle tube) as it spun a grove in the seat, I shimed that side for the loss of metal, when I put it back in it was a tight fit but it went in. The differential sounds very good now. Thank God!!
Take this as a testimonial to proper maintenance, oil etc. may cost some but not as much a iron, and labor.

Caanan,I too am a horrible speller. I write my posts in Outlook Express,free to download from Microsoft,then cut and paste onto the reply page here,fast and easy to do. Only problem is that sometimes my spelling is so far off that the spell checker can't even figure it out.
