Hi Joe i have used the seals Curt is talking about in all sizes up to using
them
on a cat D8 crank shaft and they can be very good but you also need to clean
the shaft with emery paper ore i have found to my cost that they will always
leek

Joe,
Do you have a Dixie Bearings (Applied Ind. Tec) in your town? I believe
there is a Redi-Sleeve product made to address this problem on your
truck. It's a thin sleeve that goes over the axle shafts and a new seal.
Part of the sleeve breaks off after installation. Anyway it is a kit
designed to address the problem you are having.
