Rear Axle Seal question?

[weaver84]

Would a Rear leaking Axle Seal cause the truck to have traction issues when going up my gravel driveway? I haven't check the diff fluid color or level yet.

Traction issues like what?

Almost like 1 spins before the other, like not catching. Just spins in the driveway and not pulling up. My truck goes up no problem.

Traction issues like what?

Sounds most likely as Torque converter slip.

Rear axle seal is non related situation.Seal leaks because of the CV joint bearing runout.thats all

Oh ok, what can I do to check on the torque converter? Haven't checked it fluid yet either.

Several TC check procedures described at factory workshop manual ( cant remember right now sorry about that).

Try to use youtube search as per your car symptoms
