Pumpkin Cover leak

I decided to try to straighten the pumpkin lip since I had nothing to loose but time. In the event the lip cracked or broke, I would need to find another housing anyway. I drained the rear end and flushed it with brake cleaner.

I got out my trusty rose bud and heated the flange so it was malleable and hammered it as straight as I could. I then ground the surface flat matching the rest of the flange. Fortunately it didn't crack and no fire. After straightening the cover, a new gasket and an ample amount of Right Stuff, I should have repaired my leak. I also replaced the pinion seal while I was at it.

You have all American Auto wrecking in Vancouver and over here in Oregon you have wildcat Auto wrecking. Those should be high but not out of control. There's several guys that have parts available on Craigslist in these parts and sometimes don't mention everything they have. You might want to look at the guy out in Banks that has a lot of mopar parts on Craigslist.. of course that's if all that doesn't hold..
