Hello all, 2000 ram 1500 2wd 5.9
Does anyone have illustrations on how to change a rear axle seal ?? Its leaking where it comes out of the differential housing where the axle goes in to the differential or is it a differential seal?? Does anyone knopw what type of differential in my truck sorry picture is upside down

 

Chrysler 9¼"?

 

Thanks for this video...This doesn't seem like the seal where its leaking. min is leaking where the tube of the axle is coming out of the differential case. It would seem like the "tube(axle) would need to come out of the differential I could be wrong to replace a seal in there

 

The tubes are pressed into the pig and then plug welded... there is no seal perse.

 

that's makes sense...but why does it look like it leaking from there...so in that video is what I need to replace???
I was just looking at the stain again... looks like it could be coming frm the seal if the cover that could be splattering onto the axle tube

So Im getting ready to replace the differential fluid.. and found this bottle I purchased it is 85w140 this should be ok..??? its limited slip oil.. and does that mean I don't need that bottle of friction modifier ??

 

Clean things off good, and see if you can verify where the fluid is coming from. Changing the fluid while you are at it really isn't a bad idea. That fluid will work fine.
