    So noticed a burning smell the other night and had a loom under the truck and this is what I find.

    Texted Dylan and he called pinion seal. He was close, turns out the actual flange was leaking differential fluid and the drive shaft was sling it all over my underbody. So replaced both flange and pinion seal. Good as new.

    It wasn't cracked just leaking out the middle. Which just meant a more expensive fix. Can't just be the seal. -.-
