Hey everyone. Well this really sucks.... When I bought my truck almost 3 years ago the front pinion seal was found to be bad at 12,900 miles. Gear oil at the pinion seal. Had it replaced at a GM dealer. One year and a couple months later it was replaced again along with the yoke and U joint. A few months after that the entire repair was repeated by an independent shop (this was one of the last straw repairs contributing to me essentially firing the local dealership service departments, but that is on another thread) due to another failed pinion seal and U Joint play. Now I have some play again (but very very minimal) and a leaky pinion seal. I have an appointment for a 4th pinion seal repair on Friday with an SKF seal. We already checked the vents. What else could be causing these failures? Are SKF seals good? Thanks
