    Differential / Pinion Issues

    I’ve had my 02 for about a year and a half. Over that time, I’ve shredded 3 pinions. I don’t know why this keeps happening, and it’s getting too expensive to replace my pinion every 6 months. Does anyone have any input? I’m not sure what to do.

    Is this the correct pinion seal for a Dana 44 axle?
