    Just replaced my rear bearings, seals, etc (non-ABS) and had a TRUETRAC installed (thanks GEAR INSTALLS) in the third member instead of a E-locker. Bought the press tool off of ebay (seller in Nebraska) and probably will never use it again so looking to sell it. Pm me if interested, like new used once.

    Check to make sure your breather isn't clogged.

    If it is, clean the gear oil off and breather. Then watch over the next couple hundred miles. If you see fresh fluid, then replace/rebuild.
