I have a bit of a issue I just bought this beautiful 96 zj grand Cherokee... I did some normal maintence like oil tranny fluid transfer case oil plugs and other stuff.... I noticed after driving it the rear end cover was leaking and this is what it looked like (hell)


So I cleaned it and there's a pinhole in the cover... I called and am having trouble finding a cover gasket and 10 bolts.... Can anyone point me in the right place? Also one place told me it could be one of 2 covers and there's no tag on any bolts so another way I can recognize if it's a Dana or not???

It's a 4.0

Thanks guys I need this done b4 snow fall

You have the dana 35. Dont waste your time looking for the gasket, most people dont use them and most diffs dont have them anymore. I would just use some decent silicone and run a small bead around the cover and slap it on. I recommend an "ultra" type silicone in grey or black color.

If it was me I'd take it off, clean it up real good, weld in the holes, paint it black, and used RTV black to seal it up and reinstll it. good to go.

By the way your avatar is too cool..

Like jnicewan said but go to a jy and get a new cover! Then replace.

And speaking of avatar, its cool but they will probably make you change it

Ok thanks for that a Dana 35.... This baby has 195k and the cover is in so bad shape!!! I just don't want to go to the dealer and pay 125.00 for a cover..... I've tried levines napa autozone advanced and nothing.....


Ok another question I've read about needing additive if it's a posi? Anyone know the name off hand?

Do you actually have working posi?
And forget dealer, go to a jy and get one for like $5

Idk I was going to jack up the rear end and test it today....

If its wore out than there's no point and it most likely is

Ok man thanks so much for your help... I'll update this when I get a cover
