<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cabwrecker, post: 6491381, member: 82990&quot;]Hey guys, </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Well it&#039;s been the typical three-month mark, and i&#039;ve been due for amother gigantic pain in the ### with this truck for a while. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Volvo 630, 563,000 miles.&nbsp; Started kicking oil out of the pinion seal a rear differential last Friday. </p><p>&nbsp;Immediately put it into a shop to get it fixed, ended up taking till Tuesday afternoon to get done, they did not have the seal in stock (even though they lied, and told me that they definitely definitely did&nbsp; which is why I brought it to the shop, which is not my favorite at all in my hometown area.) </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;This morning, after having driven on it for roughly 600 miles at most, I get up and start checking the truck down before I roll-lo and behold oil everywhere over the rears, the pinion seal has reopened. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;After I got the pinion seal replaced, I drove about 60 miles then had an alignment and rotation done on all my drives in an X pattern.&nbsp; The alignment came back OK, it wasn&#039;t terrible but it definitely needed done. I don&#039;t know if it did or didn&#039;t add to the issues with the pinion seal, it&#039;s a possibility but I don&#039;t believe a large one. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I don&#039;t know if these guys just used the wrong pinion seal, or if they&#039;re just totally incompetent. Which I guess one would lead to the other. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any thoughts about a pinion seal failing twice in the same week? It&#039;s pretty clear to me something else might be wrong. </p><p>And yes the ventilators are clear, the only other thing I could think is that the differential oil is above the fill line. Maybe an overfill?&nbsp; The overfill, I believe that came from a TA premium p.m. lube job.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
