I used BOTH silicone AND a gasket...9 years & no leaks...

: I've heard if you use silicone you don't need them, but if you use a gasket you do. I used them with a gasket, did you use a gasket or silicone?

:
: : When I replaced my third-member, I did not replace the washers. They aren't really necessary...

: : : Somewhere I read that you should use copper washers when re-installing the gear cluster in a rear-end. What is the reason for this? Are these special copper washers? (seems to me the artcle dealt with Ford 9" rear-ends.) Do you have to get them from anywhere in particular? What do you torque them too? Any help appreciated, as always. Thanks. John B.
