Jim,

That was not only a great post, but a really funny subject line!

I just put 3 quarts of Mobil 1 75W-140 gear oil along with a high 
filler cover in the rear of the Terra. I wasn't really paying attention 
when I bought the gear oil from Kragen and nearly passed out when I 
realized that it cost me over $15 a quart. That realization came to me 
when I was in a compromising position under my truck, and so I just 
went ahead and put it in.

My new diff cover came with a gasket, but it leaked a little. So, I 
drained the gear oil, used sealant only, and put the gear oil back in. 
I don't know about other factory recommendations, but Chrysler 
specifies no gasket for Jeep and Dodge truck diff covers.

The times, they changed a lot while I was not paying attention.

John
