Finally....got under the truck and checked the fluid. Plug came out really easy and the fluid was correct level and looked clean.
I also looked at the gob of sealant and that's what it was, no damage just as mentioned above a sloppy job.
thanks again for the help.

Good to hear... no further work needed. But still recommend the Lube Locker gasket if you ever need to pull off your diff cover(s).

To me it looks like a gasket was used…which is what I do…but maybe someone later left the gasket on the case and used sealant over the gasket.


i don’t see why a mechanic would be opposed to removing the cover, replacing the gasket, and reinstalling the cover if the cover is not damaged or replacing the cover. Also, any b ok t hole damage can be repaired so I don’t know what the big deal is unless the maint people just want to do drain and fills.
