Default anyone with modded axles
I am getting ready to put some 5.13 in my D44 front and rear. My question is has anyone had any problems with the diffs getting hot and leaking out of the seals. This is a big concern because I do so much driving on the highway.

nope. i've been running 5.13's for almost 2 years now and have put on about 30,000 miles on my JK and have not had any problems with leaks out the seals.

your pinion size gets smaller and creates more heat. therefore the oil gets hot and leaks through the seals.
