At around 110,000 miles my 2005 2500HD began to have a drop if gear oil hanging from the pinion seal. It didn't drip for the longest time. Then, if the truck sat for a month or so it would leave a half dollar sized stain on the driveway. I replaced the seal. It leaked. I replaced it again and used caulk. It leaked. I put on a speedy sleeve. It leaked. Then I found out that GM has a redesigned yoke. It's much more robust looking than the old one. And the seal is much beefier than the original. Time will tell if this is the fix. I'll keep everyone posted.
I do believe GM knew there was a problem. Why redesign something that works. Plus it was in stock. A yoke is not a common item to have sitting on the shelf.
