LLR-D44HD

I recently purchased a used 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8; it's always been a bit of a dream vehicle of mine. The WK1 SRT8s come with the Dana 44A or the 44HD, and the bolt pattern is just ever so slightly different from the standard Dana 44. I wanted to change out the differential fluid on the Jeep just to be safe, as it's such an easy process, but I really didn't want to bother with RTV, even though I think the manual calls for it. Plus, honestly, it's ugly. There was old RTV that had seeped out the sides of the differential and just looked like a mess. I bet you wouldn't see that on a high-end restoration; I didn't want to see it on my Jeep, either. Stumbled upon this Lubelocker gasket and for the price, figured I would give it a whirl. I, honestly, have never applied RTV before and, while I'm sure I could do it, slapping on a gasket and calling it a day seemed like the far more attractive option. The gasket arrived on time and was extremely high quality. The center is metalized with some sort of polymer (or something) "backing" with rubberized channels that act as the seal. On the day of the installation, I took off the differential cover, cleaned it up, and put back on the gasket as part of the fluid change. For the life of me, I don't know why ANYONE would bother with RTV when these exist. No waiting for the RTV to cure, no mess, just put on the gasket, snug up the bolts and done. I took the Jeep for a few test drives and did my weekend errands with it, and no leaks whatsoever. There's not much more to it. This gasket was well worth the money. Ditch the RTV and go Lubelocker!

Worked like a charm

Fits correctly.

Easy to install. Absolutely leak free without having to use manufacturer torque figures. A great product - the third application on this vehicle.

Boy, I love this. No fuss with messy RTV and and a much cleaner installation. Not a drop has leaked. Bit pricy but if you think you may have to go back into the diff take my word for it, it's worth it.

Used this to seal the rear axle cover on my Jeep. No leaks, and it will be super easy to service the axle in the future.

Easy installation of gasket and cover. Gasket fit perfectly, filled with correct amout of lube. Only been a week but no leakage noted. Total of 437 miles of hiway and offroad. I really don't expect leaks, but we'll see after a couple thousand miles.

This is my second go round using LubeLocker gaskets on my 01 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited differentials (front and rear) and will never use a different brand again. This is a quality made product with ease of installation, a perfect leak free fit and all at a fair price! You cannot go wrong with LubeLocker!!
