Im not sure which one you are talking about but I had both of my diff seals loose and just took it in......they replaced them quick and that was it.......I think they know they have an issue with them

[stroker4life]

[strokinDa6.4]

mine are loose too, a buddy of mine says he has never seen a superduty that doesnt have the dust seals out of it, im not even going to bother with mine.

yeah i noticed mine a month after i drove off the lot with it. I was putting in the spartan stuff on when i notice them.. Then looked at the other trucks and they were the same way also.:ford:

If its what i was referring to above........the only side effect of not getting it fixed would be getting mud and/or muddy water into the axles?

yeah exactly, i just think it helps protect the inner axle seal from getting junk in it and leaking.

Yea the ONLY way to keep those seals good is to replace them at least once a year. On any of the SDs from 99 up. I have put in 100s of them. And 6mos down the road they are wore out. It doesnt hurt a thing dont worry about them.

I was at my dealer one day and they were replacign them on a truck and if I recall right, there is a upgraded seal that solves that problem.

 

[co04cobra]

If you could get a part number for a upgraded one I would like to see it I order these things from the dealer all the time and they never tell me about a upgraded one. They are the same seal iirc from 99-10 ^? they should of upgraded thats for sure.
