Another leaking Differential
I was cleaning up the under carriage yesterday getting ready for another car show and notice oil/dirt on the carrier 
My question is since the car is still under warranty what is envolved in changing out the seals? The reason why I asked is because I was thinking of going with 4:10s. If the differential has to be dropped to change the seals, I am going to try to get the differential swapped out at the general's expense! What do you think?

some leak at the output shaft and I think some leak at the side cover.
they need to unbolt the top of the shock, top a-air connection at the spindle, remove brake caliper maybe sensor wire and sway bar. replace the seal.
I don't think they would agree to swap the diff.
If you put 4.10 in it I would recomend a brace and shaft. If you wheel hop you will wish you did the brace. The brace should save you some big dollars verses cracking the case.
