 Subject: Axle vent leaky !
IP: Logged
Message:
I noted that after to run around 50 miles, at examinate the differential, there was a oil leaky coming from the axle vent of the diff. This only happens when I go to a highway, not in a small curse.
I looked the axle vent, it was normal, no obstructed or cracked. I changed the oil thinking that it was old. The Pick-Up manual specified 75w140. I put on the nivel marked on the case and did a test, but the leaky keeps going on. There's no leaky in other place, just there. There's no odd sound from the diff. How can I fix this?

There should be a rubber hose about 2 ft long clamped to the axle vent. Is it in good shape?

I think there is a service bulletin on installing a longer vent hose to prevent this. Also, what year truck is this? I think my manual specifies a 75W90 gear fluid. If yours is too thick, it may cause trouble.

My truck is 1999, Dakota v6 Sport, brazilian version. My manual specifies 75w140 gear fluid for "hard work", then, ok, alright? - normal work is 75w90. API GL5.
Do you know where i can find this service bulletin?
