Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) took the plug out of the rearend and a large flo of oil came out

I have had 6 pinion seals in 2 months

it looks like they may have been over filling it

as it flowed look like a river when I pulled the plug on flat ground

but the truck was on the road all day

so i don't know if that would make a diffrence or not

overfilled

I would say the heat would make it rise a little, but not that much, I'd say you are right in thinking they overfilled it.

Vaughn, I would suggest that you stay as far as you can from that or any other Aamco. Sometimes you just have to chalk it up as a lesson and move on.



Merry Christmas!

yes I think you are rite

my driveway is not flat it has a slight incline to it when I we got home we back in I checked it was full but the back of the truck was higher than front but just wanted to see if it had oil in it it started to leake a small spot so when we where at sears parking lot we checked it on flat ground and man was it over full

and looked gray good thing i keep a small bucket in the back of the truck

whats gets me is how the hell did they over fill it that much

 

[NoSeeUm]

How grey was it?



That might indicate water in leaking?
