Or do you stick with RTV. The last thing I want is fluid leaking out my diff. 05 TJ 2.25 BB. Skyjacker hydro 7000 shocks.

The factory uses pooky and I have seen warped covers from idiots beating a screwdriver into the edge to get em loose. Most times...as you indicate... the gasket can be reused.

However I found with the Chrysler 8.25" rear axle on my 99 XJ that a diff gasket was not available at the local Napa, so I just use some Permatex Ultra Copper, since it was higher temp than Ultra Blue. I haven't had a leak yet, but I sure would rather have a gasket in there too.
