leaky front/rear differentials

[sytyfreak]

hi all,

Long time since my last post. Some personal problems have kept me out of the sy/ty scene, but now I'm working on the truck again. I would like to know what should I be looking forward to replace to fix this problem????

thanx in advance!

Might want to have it inspected...

For the rear you just need a gasket.. pull the cover.. check the fluid level..
make sure you add the GM additive with the gear oil... stick cover back on..

Front differential is a little more tricky.... because it's going to require removal most likely... I had a shop do it because my front differential fluid level got to low because of a bad driver's side plate seal and it blew up inside..

there's a drivers side plate seal... passenger side axel tube seal.. and then you have sealant in between the two case halves, as well as between the right case half and the axel tube...
