Ah yes the Green disease, Its your down fall. Once you start using this drug you can't quit.
The cost depends on the age and how well the truck was kept up. $2000 a year sounds
right. Axle leaks seem the most common failure. Ive had 3 so far. A full set of tork rod bushings.
2 new front...
You are right home depot special. but it doesn't get that cold here and as far as i can tell the heater gets really hot after the engine warms up. ouch. that burns.
I'm thinking of welding a lunette stand or two for the living room. They will go good with the 62 inch LCD Sony TV.
Hey gimpyrobb my front door is red:twisted:
Yes I broke down and bought the filter kit and install it today. I got the kit and coolant at a Napa store in Santa Clarita Ca. When i got home I found that they had given me Coolant for cars and light trucks. I called the Napa store in Lancaster Ca and asked the if it was OK to use this...

I was under the impression the rear seal was to keep the oil in the axle and away from the knuckle and out of the hub? It looked to me that if the oil continued to flow into the knuckle that it would flow into the hub and finally getting into the the brakes and bearings. The front outer axle...
Check oil level in transfer case. If low add until second knuckle don't over fill. If really nasty dirty drain flush with dextron 3 and replace with new oil.:-D
