Differential Carrier
Install Differential Carrier
IMPORTANT: Before installing the carrier assembly, inspect
and thoroughly clean interior of axle housing using an appro-
priate solvent and clean rag.
1. Apply Dana approved RTV compound on axle hous-
ing mating surface as shown in the illustration. Com-
pletely remove all old gasket material prior to
applying new material. Compound will set in 20 min-
utes. Install carrier before compound sets or reapply.
TIP: To assist in installing complete differential car-
rier use two pieces of threaded rod threaded into
carrier cap screw holes. Rod should be approxi-
mately 6" long. Use these to pilot the carrier into the
housing.
2. Install carrier to housing, washers, cap screws, and
nuts. Torque to proper specifications. See torque
chart of page 41.
3. Install axle shafts and axle stud nuts (if used, also
install lock washers and tapered dowels).
4. Add axle lubricant. Fill to the bottom of the fill hole.
5. Connect inter-axle driveline, making sure all yokes
are in phase. Lubricate U-joints.
