Differential cover gasket

Are the covers/gaskets for the Dana 60 and Dana 70 rear ends the same?
Thanks

Yes, but TRS with no gasket is better if you never want it to leak.

That's what they do at the factory these days too.

Or the next best thing is a Lube Locker gasket. https://www.lubelocker.com/collectio...na-60-llr-d060

If you have ever spent a couple of hours cleaning threaded holes from the factory install of sealant you may want a lube locker. I didn't know about locker last time, wish I had.

I had been reading up on the lubelocker gasket and was wondering if the Dana 60 gasket would work on my Dana 70 cover, since I could not find a listing at the Lubelocker website for the 70 cover. Thanks to all of you for your advice.

Yes I looked for one on their site, to post with my advice and found the D60 only. But since people say it is the same axle, I would think a D60 gasket would fit the D70.

Torque King 4X4 says..
Are Dana 60 and Dana 70 covers the same?

Description. Not all Dana axles have the model number cast on the housing. It can be very difficult to tell a Dana 60 from a Dana 70, as they have nearly identical covers with exactly the same bolt pattern. One way to tell if you have a Dana 60 or Dana 70 is to measure the cover flange height (yellow arrow).
