 Subject: Rear Differential Leaking
IP: Logged
Message:
Now I know that there is only suppose to be a little bit of seepage from the drain plug. Now my 2000 4x4 Dak, at 42,000+ miles, has a little drip at the bottom of the seal. A drip on the ground, underneathe my seal, about he size of a dime, after my truck was parked two hours, is what I noticed. It this a "do it yourself" project or am I better off taking it in and having it done? How much will part cost me, roughly, if it is possible to do it myself?

The rear end differential gasket is a do it yourself job. Just take the cover off and clean it up and the diff itself. Install the new gasket and tighten.

If there is no gasket, like on the 99 and earlier 3rd gens, just use
silicone to seal the cover on.

Make sure that the leak is from the cover - it could be from the pinion seal on the front side of the differential. If its the seal, the job is also not too tough.
