Vibration and leak - Diesel Forum

Hey guys, a question for you all. I was driving down the highway when a slight vibration i have been feeling for a couple of weeks, got very rough. So i naturally pulled over, i looked under the truck and there was fluid coming from the rear output shaft of the t-case. Any thoughts? Think the case is junk? or could an out of whack u-joint cause a vibration that could allow the rear seal on the t-case leak? just want to hear opinions thanks.

your probably right there somewhere, check out your u-joints, i don't know if you can change the seal without taking the tc apart, probably don't have to. Atleast see if you can move the output shaft around.

Do not go cheap on this one, I tried and lost.
Go to a clutch and u-joint specialty shop.
