Lucky i'm alive
Talked to my rear end guy yesterday as i had my truck over to him to have him try and seal up that eaton. i had leaks at the diff, the pumpkin, the pinion.... everywhere.
Well he told me someone had bent some sort of sleeve or something and that was causing my problems with the leak. Here is the lucky part. My slip yoke (terminology?) was only on about 3/4" he asked "you have any high speed vibration" i replied "naw i drive that thing up to 120mph sometimes it never shakes on me" he said "well you're a VERY lucky guy because with how far that slip yoke is on going over some bumps at that speed your lucky it didnt slip off." I guess my truck just loves me and didnt wanna catapult itself in the air  i've had it for a bit over a year now and put over 20k miles on it so i guess it wants to keep me around as much as i want to keep it around .Just thought i'd share. I wonder who modded my rear shaft though as i have to have it lengthened now....
