Default Fixin the leaks

Well was under truck today and noticed residue and moisture around my right rear tire immediately knew what was wrong so off to the store it was for some new axle seals and some new diff fluid all in all wasn't a bad job worst part is getting the axles out and the big ol pin back in. Oh and the pesky little retaining acre that goes into it I kept dropping it but got it back in there and snugged it down. 107k so can't expect perfect seal.

I've got 107k on mine too. Did you do bearings too or just seals? I hope mine last awhile longer since I recently put some royal purple in my diff and don't want to pay to replace that again.
