Will rtv sealer work?
Will rtv sealer work? I was thinking about using rtv sealer in between the carrier and the housing on a nine inch rear to seal the oil in and prevent drips. Will this work or is there something better to use?
Yes it will work.
It worked poorly for me, I RTV'd the gasket to my
MAC cover and the thing wept after install (even
gave it a full day to set up before install), when
I pulled the cover the gasket that had been RTV'd
to the cover just fell right off. I believe I was using
Permatex high temp red.
I am a fan of the "liquid copper" type gasket
sealant myself, that stuff never seems to give up.
Used that on the second pass and no weepage.

All RTV is not created equall. There are many different mixtures for a reason, each has a specific purpose.
With that said, ultra grey is your best bet for diffs, either covers or chunks.

Ive always used the black RTV sealer on my Toyota rear ends (same stlye as a 9") never had a leak and i swamped the **** outta it so I'd deff. say the black works good. just make sure to get a good bead and let it set up b4 filling (thats what i always did w/o any issues to this day.
