Differential Gasket Dana 60

The RATECH Differential Gasket Dana 60 (part number 5116) is a precision paper gasket engineered to seal the differential cover on Dana 60 axle assemblies. This gasket is critical for preventing gear oil leakage and maintaining differential integrity in high-performance and heavy-duty applications where axle loads demand absolute reliability. The Dana 60 platform is widely recognized in off-road, truck, and performance vehicle communities, making this OEM-specification gasket essential for any rebuild or maintenance project.

Paper gasket construction provides the conformability and sealing pressure distribution required for the Dana 60 cover interface. Unlike solid gaskets, paper material compresses uniformly across the cover face, accommodating minor surface imperfections and creating a consistent seal that resists oil weep under both road loads and extreme articulation. Proper gasket selection is critical because premature oil leakage can lead to differential starvation, accelerated bearing wear, and catastrophic failure under load. The RATECH 5116 is manufactured to factory specifications, ensuring correct thickness and material composition for reliable performance across stock and modified Dana 60 assemblies.

This gasket is designed for owners and technicians rebuilding Dana 60 differentials in trucks, Jeeps, performance vehicles, and off-road applications where maintaining axle seal integrity is non-negotiable. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, installing a new ring and pinion set, or rebuilding after extended use, a fresh gasket ensures the differential cover reseals properly and maintains oil retention throughout the service life. The compact 0.04 lb unit is a wear item that should be replaced whenever the differential cover is removed.

RATECH is a well-established supplier of differential components and rebuild kits, and this gasket reflects the precision required for professional-grade axle service. For Dana 60 owners prioritizing durability and leak-free operation, this OEM-equivalent gasket is the correct choice for cover reassembly.
