It is a nice gasket that seals the covers instead of using RTV. You can ofter reuse them a couple of times.

Ive cut down my diff leaks by going to lube lockers. Saves money on changeing out diff fluid after every serious off road trip.

I don't see the sale on Northridges site do you need a promo code? Why does it save you money, you pull the cover everytime you change on oil?

Lube lockers are an alternative to using rtv sealent on your diffs.

I personally have had no problems w/ my lube lockers; however, I have had friends have poor results; as well as, great results. All in all they seem to be a crap shoot.

But why pull the cover every diff oil change? Maybe every 30-40K sure.

I don't. I got Lube Lockers when I peeled back my stock diff cover and hammered it back. I then reused the Lube Lockers when I later replaced my stock covers with some better ones.

I do it to see what is going o n in the inside. I know I can drain though the oem plug; however, i like to clean out anything that may have seeped in and check on the gears/ lockers.

The lubelockers are great. If ya wack the cover on a rock you don't seem to generate and instant leak the way RTV seems to do. Much cleaner too with no gasket goop everywhere.
