Grigg, I used the #2 Permatex with paper gasket and it worked great, held it in place so I could raise and mount the driveshaft without it warping on me. Thanks again, plus 1 more question - one of the nuts on the rear diff housing (driveshaft side) was threaded or worn out. I found a nice 3/8-24 nut with a locking washer to replace it, but that got me thinking (the new nut is stainless steel) why not do all of them now? The original nuts are spliced on the outside edges on each flat side and tapered (probably for pressure lock) but do you think it would be OK if I just used regular nuts in conjunction with the Locking Washers?
