Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 5 pinion seals. every 2 weeks from AAmco

I guess it really hasn't been "fixed" then has it?

After they get the truck off the lift and out the door make sure it is parked on level ground. Remove the fill plug on the axle and check the level of the oil and compare that to the specification in the owner's manual. I believe you will find that they are overfilling the axle which will make the pinion seal leak. For penance make the service manager crawl under your truck (no creeper allowed!) and check the oil level himself and then show him the spec in the owner's manual. Then have him remove enough oil so the proper level is achieved. While he is doing so go on a sane rant about how his incompetence has cost you a lot of head scratching and aggravation. Then drive away and your problem should be solved. If the seal still leaks you need to find a different shop. Perhaps a TDR member could suggest a reliable axle specialty shop in south Florida.

Godspeed,
Trent

:-laf It just might be time to call it quits with AAmco... ... ..... Take your refund and spend the money at a diff shop that will find the cause and repair it.

After you get it fixed don't forget to sue Aamco for the cost of the original work, the time you lost, any possible damage their incompatence may have caused, and of course court costs.
