Anyone else eating axle seals?

I don't know how many times I've done the front seals and I've done the rears twice. Went and looked under the truck today and both front and the left rear are leaking again. The seals in it now are Timken and they haven't lasted the summer. Anybody else eating these things up? I don't know what to try next, I was thinking maybe delco seals and new front axle shafts in the diff.

Clean the vent , use OEM

Will do! Never thought of the vent hose but I'm sure it's gotta be clogged up from mud.

The rear vent goes to the fuel tank filler pipe and terminates at the top where the filler pipe mounts .,,

 

The frt goes to the left front inner fender and is strapped to a harness

Do what govtech said. Clean both vents, but just as importantly, use only GM seals, I have never found another brand that works at all and I have done many many of these.

Thanks guys. I remember messing with my vents when I installed my lift kit. Have never cleaned them but they've been thru a lot of shit. I'll clean them out and change the axle seals next weekend when I put my new transmission in! Should be a great weekend haha.
