Re: HO72 coating brakes with gear lube. Help!

The general consensus so far from the axle world is that the HO72 is not heavy duty enough for my application and does not hold enough fluid, its getting hot and that is what is taking my seals out. That would make sense as I don't have any troubles empty and it only does it when I have a heavy load on the truck.
