Ive been down in portland due to my Grandmother passing away and was not able to do a post NWfest inspection. The last half of Saturday and all of Sunday my front locker was being rather loud, so tonight I got around to pulling the diff cover to check it out. Turns out at some point durring the weekend I got some mud in there, my gear oil had the consistency(and color) of chocolate pudding. That Naches mud is pretty nasty if you havent checked your diffs you might want to.
 
mmmmm pudding.

my axles seals are toast, theres gear oil spilling out my axles tubes on a flat parkiong spot as we speak. I put out a pan to catch it.
 
:gee: Didn't you know that if you squeeze a tube of black rtv into the gear oil, it'll seal itself??? :rolleyes:
