Rear Axle seal gone @ 10k

[Runaway]

Murphy's Law is working against me again. :( Sevicing truck for trip to Wyoming this Thursday and noticed a grease imprint from tire on garage floor. Didn't think too much about it until I rotated the tires. RIGHT REAR TIRE IS FULL OF GREASE! Looks like a quick trip to dealer to get this slippery problem taken care of.

Anyone else with an axle seal gone out?
:mad:

Hadn't seen this discussed before, thought maybe mine was a fluke, guess not :(

I've had the left axle seal replaced twice now. If it leaks again I'll do it myself.

I have had to have both the front and rear on the left side replaced.
Figured the guy working the left side on the assembly line that day did not have his mind on the job!

Took her (the truck) in this morning. Was at the dealership at 7:30 AM (without an appointment) and at 10:30 AM was on my way home. Said it had been leadking for some time. R&R'd the seal, brake pad, e-brake pad and changed fluid (without asking). Figured they would have topped off. But they pulled pan to check for metal shavings I guess. Anyway she's back to new again. :D

Had my rear axle seals go out too. Sometime around 25k miles, if memory serves. both of them needed replacing.
