When putting 3rd's in to the housing what do you do? Gasket only, Gasket and sealer, sealer only?

 

[DRM]

they make gaskets for them?

Blue RTV. Had a friend that used to work at sears, they got it in a "cheez wizz" type container. It was very handy to have around.

First time I used the toyota paper gasket. It leaked. Next times I used toyota fipg. Works great.

I use sealer only. It's cheaper than a paper gasket and easier to scrape off the mounting flanges.

I use blue RTV never had a problem. I get it in the tube that fits a caulking gun works real nice!

 

[LouBell]

uh oh. I used the black rtv sealer. Now I'm worried:zzz:

 

[Ishikawa]

I actually used both on my initial rebuilds.....but then again, I tend to overdue everything. I use the Black stuff too

What's the main diff between the blue and the black?? Is the blue supposed to be better when in contact with gear oils?? I know the black I have is high temp crap.

 

[Oatmeal]

I like using the blue RTV, it makes for a pretty contrast against the black axle housing

 

[OOP'S]

I use whatever color the Toyota Tech or my brother-in-law (GM Tech) give me from their work!! Most of the time it is black.

 

[yarddog]

I used a little blue, ran out and smeared black on the rest. It hasn't leaked yet

 

[Benny]

Gotta go with the Copper RVT Sealer


I just use whatever gasket maker I have.

 

[NoBrainR]

I use Permatex 2B form-a-gasket. No leaks, and I love the smell

 

[BJ On Roids]

i used an aftermarket proper seal on the weekend, came with the rebuild kit, and im not intending to pull tis front end apart for a while

toyotas are reliable on 42s?

HELL YEAH :flipoff2:

OOP'S,
Erik B and I used Black RTV on mine. Thanks For stoping by when we where doing the SAS. 4runner is running great now. See you at Johnson Valley. Ed

 

[5spd]

I used the rtv orange and never had a problem leaking there or the tranny that I used it on...

 

[Priest]

RTV - black high temp... I use that chit on everything.

 

[cexodusk]

as long as it is high temp gasket sealer it should be fine

I was wondering if there is much difference between the colors - ie, red, blue, and black when using Permatex RTV.

Found this:

All have slight differences - but nothing major for sealing up a 3rd member.
