    Well, it will really depend on the reason the seals are blowing.

    If they're going out because the breather is frozen or clogged and the seal is the weakest point to release pressure, then yes, it will help. (This is what happened to me)

    If the seals are going out because of some other issue, like wheel bearing toast, axle bent, etc, then no, it wont help.

    Not sure why you keep blowing seals but the diff breather mod eztension will keep you from filling your diff. with water when submerging your axle under water & dude YOU GOTTA DO THE GREY WIRE MOD !! I just did it today & it took like less than 30 mins. & worked like a champ !!
