Moser 9" and rear pinion seal...

[69Pony]

Those who have the Moser 9" rear - what is your experiences with the rear pinion gear? I have about 1200 miles and am about to change the seal for the second time. At 400 miles it started leaking and now it's leaking again.

I'm using the standard seal from Chicago Rawhide. They were recommended as the replacement from Moser. Seems a bit extreme to be replacing these seals so often. Anyone using another brand or type?

Also, while I think the Moser is a great rear end it does upset me a bit that they don't have a cover over the pinion. The seal is open to the elements....
