    At the point I made this thread...no, no real wheeling. I ended up tightening the bolts and it sealed up

    No worries. And here is the correct torque numbers for the diff. Edit: torque to 18/lbs for the eleven bolts.

    My experience. The first time mine started to leak was after I installed 4.56s and I didn't put enough RTV to create a good seal. After a long road trip I had a very small leak so I tore it open again, cleaned it up, and then put a F ton of RTV on it (for this application more is better). This held up for a year until I smacked my diff on a big ass rock a couple weeks ago :(

    Nope, just hit it hard enough to break the silicone seal. Gears and pinion are all good to go.
