Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Pinion Shaft Seal

[andrewkoperdak]

I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with the pinion shaft seal. Mine is leaking again at 66K and the original only made it to 8K. I just replaced my airshocks with regular ones and I believe that the extra axle travel has disturbed an othewise good seat. Any comments/ suggestion before I give it to the dealer to fix ?

I had to replace mine recently, but at 145,000 miles. I don't know if that is good life expectancy, or not.

Check that the breather hose is not plugged. If it's plugged it will push oil past the seal as the diff. warms up.
