I know anecdotal evidence is suspect, however, I mounted the differential carrier on my '50 Chevy COE without a gasket and 2300 miles later no problems at all. I could not find a gasket, so I used Permatex "Right Stuff" which is a wonderful product, designed for OEM placement of diesel oil pans without a gasket. It is more adhesive than Permatex #2 but does not allow seepage or creep of oil like you see with #2 or RTV.

Based on my experience of one, I tend to agree with 1ton tommy in that axle alignment might be off a few thousandths but it would not matter much.

Thoughts?
