    Maybe buy the other union type people use (Unchained posted it on page 1) and give it a go first?

    Cause for whatever reason yours is loose when it’s been fine for others who have installed it. Let’s say you load it up with teflon tape, who is to say when diff heats up, since the union was loose to begin with, it might suck in water anyway just like the stock one does, defeating the purpose of the mod. Cause tacking it will keep it from unscrewing but it’s not going to solve a tiny gap issue.

    If it was me I’d rather it just be nice an snug to begin with.

    Thanks, I'll probably try the union unchained recommended and hopefully that one fits! Last thing I want to do is strip the threads on the diff!
