 Subject: Synthetic Rear End Lube
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2001 R/T. I know that stock that it doesn't have synthetic fluid in the rear end. I would like to put some in but Dodge uses rtv as the sealent...not a gasket. I am afraid to put that in and use rtv because i know that synthetic would attack the rtv and maybe cause a leak. If anyone has any ideas or knows where to get a gasket...please let me know.

I used 75w90 mobil 1 and rtv to seal it. I have 4000 miles on it since the oil change, and no leaks so far.

Go to your local dealer and get a tube of the RTV-ATF sealer. Basically I think close to the Right Stuff. Most RTV's in auto parts don't work as good as the RTV version the dealer uses.

I wouldn't use anything but the Series 2000 Racing
gear lubes available from AMSOIL.
I installed the AMSOIL Series 2000 75w-90 Racing
Gear Lube and a Fel-Pro gasket on my DAK instead
of using silly-cone.

P.S. Auto Zone stocks the gaskets.

What did you ask for at Auto Zone for the gasket. I went there and they said that nothing was availble. Did you just tell them a Dakota or what. Thanks for the replies everyone!

should I use synthetic after I install the Sure
Grip Limited Slip? or should I use the regular
stuff, so there is more friction for an easier
break in? Do I need to pick up a tube of that
red RTV junk when I get the limited slip?

Hello Guys, I can tell you that the right stuff is the best sealant I have ever used!!!!! It cures in one minute and is the toughest sealant I have ever used!! I have used RTV since 1989 and have never seen it leak due to synthetics. The only time I have seen it fail is if it is not properly used or poor surface prep. Most Japanese cars have not used oil pan gaskets in years! I have a 9.25 felpro gasket at home. I will try to see what the number is. I think I used one for a fullsize Ram 1973-1987 I think? I still have the box at my Dads place. I will try to get it this weekend.

Auto Zone, Advance Auto and NAPA can get the
gasket for you but for some reason they have a
hard time looking up the numbers in the book.
Advance Auto had to call Fel-Pro's tech line just
to get a number for me, unfortunetly I have thrown
away the old package so I have no idea what the
number was.

I just wanted to close out the search. I took Sandmans advise and asked for a rear end gasket for a 1982 Full size Dodge with a 12 bolt cover. He went and got the gasket and we matched them up. Perfect match. The part number for the fel-pro gasket is RDS 55073. Thanks everyone.
