    Which CV axle is leaking? If it's the driver's side, I would get a bushing replacement for the front differential from East Coast Gear Supply. The factory needle bearings on this side of the truck for the differential are a known weak point, and since you'll have the CV axle out, this would be a perfect time to take care of that.

    Very nice looking truck and looks to be in really good shape for the age and miles. I would be proud of it!

    It's the front passenger CV boot. I really wish I could replace it myself, but I don't have any space where I live. My apartment complex has a stipulation in the contact stating you won't work on your vehicle. I guess I will try and see if some Northern Virginia guys might have a driveway. I would like to learn how to replace the CV axle myself.
