Title: Just moved to the Valley from TX
Post by: TXterra on August 05, 2015, 10:30:39 AM
Hey guys.  I just moved here from Austin, TX.  Drove my 08 Xterra Offroad hauling a trailer the whole way.  The Xterra only has a few mods.  Daystar lift, Shrockworks front bumper and skid, HID headlights, 18" wheels wrapped in 33" Nitto's.  I've run through a little mud and done a touch of rock crawling with it.  I did spring a differential leak from the pinion seal on the way here.  Any one have any experience with that?  I don't have any air tools with me and it seems like all the stealership's service departments have terrible reviews.  Trying to figure out what to do.  Any local advice?

Welcome TX,
I don't personaly don't know anything about the seal, but here's a link to a national site that has a lot more on-line help.  If anyone here knows something, they will likely chime in.  Let us know where you are in the Valley.  Good luck from Fallbrook.

Welcome from Riverside/Moreno Valley! Like Randy posted, The New X website has an extensive log of issues and solutions for the 2nd Gens. I don't remember if we have a write up on the differential/pinion seal here on SCCX yet, but it looks like that thread should get you started.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.  Glad to see the site is back up, had me worried for a sec.  Toro, you forgot to tell me your favorite kind of beer.

That is a great looking truck.  Which part of the valley you in?  Also, hello from Glendale.
