Pinion seal went so I replaced it tonight. On the drive home as I got on the freeway, something happened in the pumpkin. I stopped as quick as I could. I limped it the short distance home after putting more gear oil in.
I spun the pinion while the driveline was disconnected out of curiosity, I was told that I should not have done that because it needs to stay aligned. Is this true? If so, what is the problem and how do I go about fixing it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, the fill bolt on the diff was cross threaded. I put it back in as tight as I could. Off the bat I thought it had leaked a bunch out of that plug but when I filled it some more, the noise didn't go away.
Any information is really appreciated.
