"Hi I'm Doug, I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Hey look I was right, it does have a 49 inch. We've got a leak where the carrier bolts to the axle, easy enough to do if you don't do clean work. We're going to have to pull that gear carrier out of the rear axle housing, and reseal it. Probably, it just was dirty when it was put together. So Dan is poking around here making sure that he understands exactly where it is leaking, so that we can make sure we've sold our customer exactly the right repair, and we can get it done effectively, and as quickly as possible. You can see this is a custom chassis underneath this vehicle, custom exhaust that we built at our shop, and the axle is nicely painted. Good clean work."

on 1/24/2009 Good you have nice clean work, but you're far to vague in the description of the initial problem. They can leak in more places than just around the gasket...then you go on about the custom chassis and the nice paint job on the axle. ??? What does that have to do with a leak? Your videos should be longer too. Thanks.
