Front diff is leaking on my truck...damn

[kwando]

I know a great mechanic if you need one.

i talked to my old college buddy who runs a shop up in greeley, and he said we could do it in about half an hour depending on what beer i bring...It actually works out great because my other buddy is going to let me borrow his rokon for elk hunting and lives just outside of greality. I'm gonna get some oil and top it off, i don't drive it much, but damn, what a pita...One problem after another with vehicles...thxs for the help...

Hands down the easiest and fastest way to change a diff seal is with a LubeLocker Best gasket made.

This is an easy and simple fix. Get some diff fluid, a Lube Locker gasket and some brake cleaner and you are good to go. Easy as pie

I think the issue is the axle seal, not the cover.

Oh bummer, well then my advice is worthless.

Ok, move along nothing to see here.

Well LubeLockers still kick ass so if anyone ever needs a seal try one of these.

Good luck OP

Didn't we have a thread earlier about how awesome GM quality is these days?

They are bad enough for a German car guy to know that the front diffs eat axle seals like no other. Known issue. 50-60% chance of seeing it leaking on every GM 4x4 you look at.
