Alright. I am posting this because I have genuinely run out of ideas.
Two days ago, I swapped out my front diff for a "new" one, that I had cleaned, inspected, and resealed. It has all new National seals, part numbers verified and everything. In hindsight, this was a bad idea.... This is the second bad experience I have had with National, who is supposed to be the "good" brand for oil seals.
Today, I look under the truck, and.... there is one single drop of oil at the bottom of the pinion seal. The one I just replaced. On the diff I just spent my Saturday installing.
Does anyone have any ideas? Seal brand recommendations, methods, anything? This is really starting to tick me off, I want this stupid axle to stop leaking.... sigh...
