I have a 2004 KW W900 With RT40-145 Rockwell rears. Here's what is going on. I can not keep pinion seals in the front diff. I have chg the yoke, the vents and have went as far as putting a drop in diff in because I thought something was messed up in the diff. but here we are again with the same problem. The seals will last anywhere from 40-80,000 miles. It just like it isn't breathing enough and pressuring up the case. The seal will start as a slow leak and then start making a big mess. I have also taken out the through shaft and put new bearings in it when I put the drop in in. Also checked end play at this time. All was good. Also was told to check ride height and again it was right on. Could it be a out of balance drive line? If so wouldn't u feel a vibration? I am at a loss and don't know what to check next.
P.S. Maybe I'm just a lone sole and am the only one to have this problem. Ha Ha Thanks For any input.

I drove a truck with the same problem. It would also eat the U-joint on the front side. It was caused by the pitch on the banjo housing being slightly off. If you've done all that and they're still leaking I'd have the housing checked.

The boss brought it to an International dealer. As far as how they check that, I haven't got a clue.

If there is a noise that changes with the throttle...get it fixed! I had a diff that froze the pinion bearings, even with a full diff. Expensive tow when the rear end is froze up.
