No gasket on my truck and no leak!
What I did is a mix of 2 tubes of 00 Chevron grease and 1/2 cup of Amsoil 90 weight gear oil, mixed together and then put the mixture in a sandwich bag that I cut the corner off of and piped into the box. Of course you could just find the cornhead grease that's recommended in these and Bob's your uncle!
