That's great news Denny, I thought there was a crush sleeve or something that kept the oil in and the whole darn pinion needed to to be taken apart! Do you happen to know the seal #? Do you think a NAPA store would have them?

Bummer that I can't put a limited-slip in there. I was out testing out the 4x4 system and got the left front and right rear in the air and of course those were the ones that got the power. Not that I'm planning on doing any crazy 4-wheelin. At least it has a winch to pull me out if I get stuck.
