Ruffstuff Specilaties Diff Cover!!!!!
so OE specs rtv! on the cover. also, I am seeing drastically different torque specs on the internet
the supposed oe spec I found says 33 lb/ft but some say 11?! that is quite a difference
the spicer should de a decent unit, I watched the Banks videos, and this cover replicates the stock insides pretty well.
I have also found that this Spicer unit, looks EXACTLY like the Ford Performance Cover, that costs $100 more
Is there a diagram of the proper torquing procedure?
what about the torque on the drain plug and the new fill plugs?
there is no spec for the drain plug, haha, as OE doesn't have one, but the OE fill plug is supposed to be 22 lb/ft
also looks as if Ford specs a 75w140 with added friction modifier?
I have the new spicer nodular iron cover, the lubelocker gasket, and new bolts for the cover

i've never torqued a simple wet gasket nor torque sequenced. Use basic method for a wet area.(stamped steel stuff) ...snug bottom first then alternate left to right SNUG as you make your way to the top SNUG...then repeat at XXXX tightness... It's only a 10mm bolt (IIRC) so 20 ft lbs would be plenty with a gasket. (I personally use my "calibrated wrist" with a shorty 3/8 ratchet)
BUT.... you have an aluminum cover (just saw that).
