89 Pickup Front 7.5 IFS Diff Leaking, Can't Find Gasket Part #?

[armstrong486]

Hey guys, this is my first post here. I've been using this forum for a ton of information on my rebuild, and finally decided to create an account. So I have my motor on a stand right now and I have easy access to the front diff, which has been leaking profusely since I clogged up the breather pretty bad mudding a few weeks back.
So while it's fairly easy to access, I'd like to pull the cover and replace the blown gasket, but for the life of me I can not find anybody who sells the gasket for a 1989 Toyota Pickup 7.5" IFS front differential. I've found plenty rear diff gaskets and solid axle gaskets but nothing for the front IFS diff cover gasket. Anybody have a part number or knows somebody who sells them? Thanks in advance.

If you're talking about the front cover, there is no gasket, you use FIPG sealant. From the FSM:

BTW, I grew up in Parkville, went to Loch Raven High (1977 grad). My Mom still lives there (Oak Crest off Joppa Road), brother is in Carney. I was just there in May, might be back next month for another visit.

Awesome, that explains a lot! And it's a small world, shoot me a pm next time you're in the area, hopefully I'll have the new motor back in and she'll be back on the road by then
