got an 06 2500 with 3500 miles on it and the front pinion seal is puking all over thats build quality

 

Let me guess leaking from the front pinion seal?? I've had the same problem 2x now. Get it replaced under warranty. It is a Pita but what do you do?

had mine done at 7k took less than an hour

 

had my front and rear done at 30k and the dang thing has vibrated ever since.

 

just got mine done at 14k.

 

yea going in tomorrow just cant get over it only 3500 miles what next i have been a ford man all my life thought i would try something different oh well i guess its better then bursting into flames with a new 6.4 powerstoke

 

took truck in today to get new seal the tech broke my driveshaft bolts they wanted to charge me 2.5 hours to fix them tech said my 6in lift made him do it afer some no so kind words with the shop forman he said have a nice day no charge cant believe the crap they try

 

Noticed this problem on my 06 last night. Got looking at the oil, and it was very black, and did not seem to smell like gear oil. The hose for the engine breather is right above the seal, so I was thinking it may have just dripped some oil onto the seal area (on top of the housing, then it runs down), making it look like the pinion seal is leaking. I wiped it off and will monitor it.

Just some thing to check for those with the same problem.
