    That's what I told the guy. I said it isn't bad. I said it could have been assembly lube. However, it was fresh each time. Which is what leads me to think it's a leak. It's not that I'm over thinking it. Its the fact that I paid a #### ton of money for a product and service, plus a stupid amount of down time....and I want the thing right. I don't think that's asking too much. Plus now with their truck record, I'm honestly kinda worried about what it to come of it. I wish I would have taken pics of what the inside of my housing looked like. There were some big chunks of metal and more shavings than I've ever seen. When I say big, I mean like the size of a finger. Kinda paranoid now.

    When I killed mine apparently I knocked all the teeth off the pinion. He said he had no clue how I managed to get it to the shop.

    Couldn't say. The pumpkin comes complete from valley and it's shipped to Pete. Then they just install the complete unit. That being said, the guy I watched put the other seal in was with a hammer and then gobbed it up with silicone and then put the retainer back on....and it never leaked after that.......so I can't complain there really. Where it was leaking after that was between the pumpkin and power divider housing. That was leaking enough it would leave small puddles behind when I parked.

    South East ish. Might be putting an offer In on a place in the next day. It's just outside of the mark twain forest area. The other place we put an offer in on was right off of 55/57 split, 10 miles or so. It fell through because the guy got greedy. Which is prolly why it was still on the market after a year!

    That sucks. There definitely were some chunks of ring gear in there, but not pinion. I'm just getting tired of messing with it. Getting frustrated and thats starting to spill over.
