I have some good sized cracks in my drive way. About 1 inch wide at the widest.
I am have seen cracks around town that are filled with what looks like caulk. What is that stuff called? I bought this pourable Concrete Crack Filler http://www.menards.com/main/buildin.../p-1768883-c-5650.htm?tid=1473182559254273580 but when it dried and was not vary flexible and did not stick to the concrete that good.
So what should I get to fill the cracks with?

1" is really wide.

Did the subgrade erode in the areas where the sections have settled?
If the slab is sound and not moving I would vgroove them with a quickcut, and fill them with top & bond, make sure you moisten the area. Blow out the crack with compressed air prior to moistening it

Is there any height difference?

If you are looking for something flexible I used Sikaflex self leveling. It comes in a caulk tube and I got it at Home Depot. It worked great for me.

There is not much of a height difference. It is a 2 car wide drive and the crack goes down about in the middle.

I used SHERWIN WILLIAMS POLYUREA JOINT FILLER

It worked great on most of the cracks in my driveway. I used a chisel and hammer to open them up to at least 3/8", then blew them out with compressed air.

The polyurea stays semi-flexible and levels out nicely.

A terrific Commercial grade 2 part polyurea crack filler is Metzger and Mcquire RS-88. Email us if need to purchase as we don't sell it on our website, but can get it for you through our Installation Division.

Use backer Rod. I haven't seen wider than 3/4" at HD. Gator dust should make quick work but how deep is the crack at its deepest?
