Ok, so here is a stupid 2 part question.
I'm taking off my Dana 44 covers so I can paint them and put the guards on them. Also, I thought it was about time I changed the fluid because they have seen a lot of off roading and with the winter coming up it's good preventive maintenance.
Anyway, back to my question.....
1) I can't seem to find any gaskets for a Dana 44 at Autozone/NAPA/Lappens/CAP so do they even exist?
2) If they do exist, what would be the major dammage if I re-used the ones I already have on there. I know you aren't supposed to, but why? In theory they should still work....right?

use a liberal amount of RTV silicon to seal it up, around the parimiter, and around the bolt holes. gaskets suck!

if your using rtv right stuff is the only thing i would use, i use lubelocker gaskets, they cost a little less than a tube of right stuff rtv and i have reused them at least a dozen times without any problems or leaks.i have bad front seals so i change the front just about every time i wheel.

nothing wrong with a little extra rtv as long as it doesnt go in the wrong places. Its easy to have too much fun with a can of the right stuff. That stuff is awsome, point and shoot  |

I've had great luck with dry, clean surfaces and a regular Fel-Pro gasket. Autozone has them behind the counter; the only obstacles are the poorly-trained monkeys behind the counter who can't look up at the sky, never mind look up a part.
Ask for a front "axle housing gasket" for a '78 Jeep Wagoneer, with the Dana/Spicer 44 axle, and they SHOULD be able to come up with the following part #:
FELPRO RDS6629
Or do what any sensible person does, and get the part # from the Autozone website ahead of time, so all you tell them in the part # of what you want. Then all they have to do is turn around, walk to the shelf, and get the part. I'd say at least 40% of the Autozone employees are capable of doing at least that, which is better odds than them knowing what something like an "axle" is.
