Dana full-floating axle shaft gasket - need p/n

[Hurley]

I'm in need of a few of these:

QU40078

This appears to be the only place I've found that sells replacement axle shaft gaskets for the dana axles in our trucks... there's got to be another p/n that I can search for on other stores' websites....?



(is it a faux-pas to forego the gasket and slap some RTV in its place?)

I don't even run gaskets on my puller, LOL

felpro makes them, i dont remember part numbers though

i went ahead and did some hi-temp RTV...and ordered a handful of the ones I linked above. :lol:

I couldn't find the gasket easily so I just rtv'd mine and they have been fine.

Go to napa, buy some oil-resistant gasket material, make your own.

I tend to RTV almost everything.

Mopar has an "Axle RTV" that I use on diff covers and axle shafts.

I think any RTV will work fine though.

yeah, haha. appears to be holding after 50 miles or so

Pretty much every FF axle I have seen had silicone hanging out of it. It seems like most people reuse the paper gasket till it tears then just goop it up. Just for fun, my Spicer S-111 axle has an Oring seal. One time deal as it gets distorted. Also since it rides to the inside of the bolt cirle any oil that gets on the flange will end up on the rim making you think its leaking. Dont ask how I know.
