2001 Dakota 4x4 differential question - 8/15/2007 9:11:10 AM    jbehm   Posts: 3 Joined: 8/13/2007 Status: offline Anyone know how tight in ft/lbs the rear diff cover bolts should be on my 8.25 differential?  I am getting a small drip (very slow) and would like to try tightening before removing the cover and resealing. < Message edited by jbehm -- 8/15/2007 9:13:28 AM > Post #: 1
