Dodge quietly admits 9.25 diff pinion seal defective
Dodge has put out a revised seal for the 9.25 differential pinion.
Original P/N: 52070340AA
New P/N: 52070340AB
It may also be possible that there is a 'Secret Warranty'
that DaimlerChrysler Area Service Representatives
may now be authorized to give payment for
if your out of warranty 9.25 differential has failed because of the poor life of the original
part number seal.
This has been standard Chrysler practice in the past, but only if the
customer complains past the dealership and is armed with info and part numbers.

This can't be all the 9.25's? I've never had a problem with my '99 and it's got 152K on the clock, only changed diff fluid every now and then, never any leaks. The LS clutches blew out long ago, only makes it act more like a one-wheel wonder, just never had the patience to get the special tool and pull the carrier to put a new clutch pack in it. Thsi is the first I've heard of a pinion seal problem on these.
