Differential Leak?

Does it look my diff. is leaking? Is that bad? Its also rusting some as well.... been doing this since before I did the lift and tires, so I know its not related to that.

Looks that way. How many miles on the truck? Take it off, sand it down, paint it and replace it along with new diff fluid.

You are on warranty. Take it to the dealer.

Lol... Alright I'm gonna take it to the dealer next week. I sure hope that body lift didn't void my warranty :/

I dont think it would, because they would have to prove the body lift caused it to leak, which that would have nothing to do with a body lift

okay... sweet.

Just food for thought. Since my truck is now legally a lemon, would you guys reccommend making the dealer give me a new truck or get my money back and go buy a differnt truck, something like that? I definitely love my truck, but seriously, if any of you remember my previous thread about my truck's problems, I have had it with the crap this thing has given me in a year.

Thats something for you and the dealer to discuss. That axle should not be leaking by any means though.
