Getting ready to install my rear differential. Does anyone have a source for the flange gasket?
Thanks-Michael

i used silicone also.
i would recommend ultra black.  if paint chips off the silicone it looks alot better than orange or blue.


i did buy one from a dealer years ago but it had shrunk and i couldnt get it on.

the m35 trucks use the same one for the front , i wonder if the axle flange gasket for the 5ton m54 trucks would work for the back.
