You have an m205 right? They are known to spit up oil out the breather if they are too full. Might want to check that (on the firewall side of the air filter box).
How do you overfill a front diff?...tip the truck on it's side?...lol

I've seen people do crazier things lol! The m205 is known to leak out the diff breather (that L shaped piece that the hose clips onto) so I asked them to check it.
Anyway took it to Boulder Nissan as per @Prime 's recommendation. They were awesome, looks like only the rear diff is leaking. All the other wet spots were still dry from when I wiped them so probably not a concern. They think Monday it should be good to go unless they find something else. I might have to cut a bit out of the Ouray portion until the end of September/first week of October, but at least I won't have my diff die on me on a trail.
It was funny they thought the Krown oil spray all over the truck was spray from old leaks. I just about laughed out loud at them, but if you've never seen and oil-sprayed vehicle before can't say I blame them. I rented a van to kick around until I get the call to pick it up.
Meh. Twin Peaks is better anyway.Sadly, Tilted Kilt close down two years ago on 16th Street Mall - turned into Burnt Barrel. Sports Bar without the scenery. They closed down less then a year later.

Yes. Dressed in booty shorts and flannel mini shirts. Back dimples abound. There's one at i25 and Arapahoe? I think. It's on 25 somewhere near there.I've never been - do they have scantily clad women? That was the only draw for Tilted Kilt
If nothing else drive Imogene. Try Yankee boy and governors for a day, or better yet drive up mineral creek, towards engineer, down to anamas forks, up California, over to Hurricane, and down corkscrew...... that, is one of the best days of stunning scenery you’ll ever have..... seems like a lot, but I’ll take you about 5-7 hours, starting in ouray and back to it.
Best travels!
Thanks dude!May the scenery bless your eyes, and your soul, as they have mine. That area is truly magic.
Travel safely.
it's a split ring (think of a slinky that wraps around the boot 1 1/2 times), you should be able to slide it down toward the steering knuckle, slide the boot back up into place and then wind the split ring back up into place.
It might be easier to do with it disconnected from the steering knuckle.
Iv'e replaced a few SPC ball joint boots, and that's how I've always done it.
Not done yetGreat pix, looks like jolly times were had!
Ah ok, I’ll try again back at the campsite.
Just make sure you wipe the grease from around the ball joint seat, and the inside of the boot so you get a reasonable seal.....
You may also want to go get a few pumps of new grease in there before heading out on the trails.
Got all the tools you need?
There’s lots in there, I think maybe too much and that’s why the rings slid off? Worst case I leave it as is and fix it when I get home. Does seem like a dumb design though.
Too much grease could pop off the boot.
I'm not sure I even understand how it would happen. The physical relationship of the LCA's, UCA's, spindle and wheel doesn't change through the suspension cycle. It's like moving one side of a parallelogram.
Is there a corresponding rub mark on the tire?
It does look to me like your camber adjustment is set to be a little more inboard than I'm used to seeing on Titian UCA's.
Maybe @jsexton can offer some insight.
