Axle Leaks

[COBRAJET]

Is anyone else having a lot of leaks? In 52K miles I have had the right front axle seal replaced at 17K... really BAD leak, the pinion seal at 43K and now the left rear axle seal and gasket... . which I noticed when the Rickson's were put on a week ago. The inner rim was just coated in grease when I went to put it in the bed. I want the Dana's back... . at least with those it was only the pinion... CJ

The Danas leaked a lot from the axel seals!TOO! I was hopeing the American axels would be better.

Synthetics often tend to leak more easily than a dino oil liike the premium quality LE 607. Also. 75-90 like AA uses to maximize mpg is very thin and leaks easier than, say, 75-140. I have LE 607 in both ends now.

I had the left rear axle leak. Truck sat at the dealers for a week waiting for the seal. They changed the brake pads as well as they were saturated. This is my first diesel and first DODGE. Have had 3 gas powered Fords prior and never had any problems. Don't get me wrong I love my new Dodge Cummins!
