You know Confused, they do have shots that clear up the leaks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
That's a lot of seals within 55,000 miles[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I have 78,000 miles on my truck and no problems. I do have a SRW and 3.73 gearing. Don't know if your onto something there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

okay, so this is a PSD thread, n'est pas? well, I replaced my rear pinion seal today, easy to get the drive shaft off. but the pinion nut...OMG, that sucker was on tight. tried my impact gun.... nope. tried 18" breaker bar with cheater bar on it....nope. hit it with penetrating fluid a few times. Finally, i changed my compressor from 1/4" line to 3/8" line, used a pipe wrench on the knuckle, and then hit it with the impact gun again and it came off. and i had to go buy a 1-7/8" socket for the nut. that stuff only comes in 3/4" drive.
this will be my third seal in 55,000 miles (factory one, 1 replacement, and this one). Ford did the last one. I'm also replacing the yoke in case there's a burr or groove on it (almost the same price as a speedy sleeve). Have any of you guys had problems with your rear diff leaking? I got 4:10 gears and dually; i don't know if that makes any diff at all.

The projector mounts on the ceiling about 18-20' away. Pretty pimp set up.........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] You need to do this on the side of the trailer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

How far back will you be sitting from that wall? I don't have a big enough room in my house to run that thing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

We are sitting about 18-20 feet back so it's like you are at the show. Maybe I can charge about $10 every time I fire this thing up to get some money back[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
last year I had a game room built on the back of the house. It's got a nice pool table, poker table, darts, surround sound, and now a pimp movie set up[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

weLL i see the spirits from CA (also known as dumb and dumber [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) are trying to pick on the poor lil 'ol Canadian again. i should know better than to expect any respect from anyone on this trash-talkin thread.
so we finally pounded the yoke off the splined pinion shaft. And i thought the nut was hard to remove. putting the seal in was really tricky too, cuz it's such a flimsy metal backing that's easy to damage. there was a slight groove worn around the old yoke. also, the seepage was very obvious at the bottom of the seal so i don't think it would have been the other things you suggested.
creator your new set-up sounds great. hope it doesn't keep you off the quad.
