Just love the smell of gear oil in the morning lol.
I have a dinosaur dodge and couldn't find a gasket for the rear so I went old fashion with rtv. I'm waiting for the rtv to cure so I can add oil, the rtv says to wait 24 hours before adding fluids, is this true? I don't ever remember having to wait that long when I turned wrenches back in the day, I sealed cover last night around 9pm, I'm going to put oil in around noon cause I need to be somewhere, hope it holds.
My rear has 220,000+ on it and virtually no metal particulates on mag, so I guess the guy I bought truck from wasn't lying about his maintenance habits.
Although there was significant signs of wear on pinion and ring gears though, how long you guys/gals think I have till it's gone?
