can anyone help me please?

 

you should have it professionally done since the rear end has to be taken apart to set the me pinion seal

 

PLEASE NOTE: There are 2 different torque specs for the pinion nut, one for useing a new crush sleeve & one for reusing the old crush sleeve. There is also something new that eliminates the crush sleeve & all the issues from people not following the proper torque specs.

I do not know what they are. I do know that MANY, MANY people have had catasrophic failures soon after someone else was in there, for changing gears/ratios/pinion bearings/seal/ect. Make sure your mechanic knows this & knows what the specs for each are.

I would also disconnect the axle vent tube & hit it with some compressed air, to blow out any mud/dirt/debris/insects, that may have plugged it up, which may have caused the seal failures.

 

You'll want to have the leaking seals replaced at a minimum. Pinion seal replacement isn't too costly (cost me about $300 but half of that was servicing the rear differential while I had it in so $150 for pinion seal), but if they don't torque the pinion nut to the proper torque, there can be pinion bearing damage down the road (ask me how I know.......). Not sure about the axle seals - it's probably about the same cost. :dunno:

 

Axle seals should be no problem for pretty much anybody that works in the field. I would change both seals. I changed both sides on my truck for $1.90 plus a couple bucks in shipping and my time. I would be more concerned with that pinion seal considering it is a Dodge. Although it should be a simple job. It could lead to some money. Specially if you have the Trac Loc. But you won't know until somebody competent looks at it. So for the pinion seal.Make sure the guys got some references and has done lots of work on the Dodge rear end. When i had my gears done. The pinion seal ended up being a very slight leaker. My gear guy had the pinion seal changed in 45 minutes. He reused the pinion nut and used loctite upon reassembly. Not a bad idea to get a new nut though. Specially if yours is the original.

Good Luck

 

Thank you all for your help. I got it all fixed for 185.00 otd!...very reputable Dodge truck mechanic...when I got to the shop I asked to talk to the tech...long story short he "LOVED" my truck and we started to talk about rams...he has a really nice mild modded daytona and he liked a bunch of stuff I have done to mine and he said I gave him some cool ideas and good sources to purchase things for his truck...and this website...he ended up cutting me a GREAT deal!
