[@GaryBlankenship96b40]

How about the transfer case? Thank you for this one. Well done.

Yah I need to do that lol

@@hogie1685 It looks easier. There’s a drain plug and a fill plug.

No silicone?

[@hogie1685]

No need when u have a proper gasket! Lol

@@hogie1685 excellent. Just wondering if it's a common thing. I'm up in the NE U.S., so I'm exposed to a lot of brine from the roads as well. I thought it might be a thing going that a lot of folks do to keep those surfaces a bit cleaner. Thanks a lot for answering.

[@hogie1685]

No worries. Lots of SALT here in Ontario!!!! I mean some people use silicone but I wanted to get the proper gasket it’s personal preference really

[@OldNew45]

@@hogie1685 thanks again. I'm in new jersey, home of the horrible drivers. They spray brine on the roads every time the tempera ture drops below freezing, no matter whether there's precipitation or not.

half inch from the middle of the hole is the bottom of the hole

[@claytoncasimel8211]

I was confused too. I thought fill until flows out

[@hogie1685]

1/2” from the bottom of the hole…

[@KarasCyborg]

It's shameful that RAM didn't put a drain plug on these. They want to make it as messy and expensive as possible so that you go to the stealership to have it done.

[@fr7399]

Do they make aftermarket differential covers that have that? I heard some companies make them possibly

[@KarasCyborg]

@@fr7399 Banks Power has a great one, but it's pricey.

My '03 has a 10.5" ring gear. Most third gens will have the 11.5" though

[@hogie1685]

I wonder why yours is smaller?

[@OutpostCTD]

@@hogie1685 I believe it is because it is the standard output truck which was derated to 250hp. It also has the 47re trans which most 3rd gen 5.9 autos would have the 48re.

Hey throw me an email some time ([e-mail]) would love to PM you about some things.

I prefer a gasket to permatex when sealing cover less work next time

[@hogie1685]

Yeah I agree!!!!
