HOPE SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS AND WHAT I DO TO REMEDY. LEAKING FLUID FROM REAR END 2004 SUPERCREW 33,000 MILES. ANY HELP APPRECIATED. BD

 

Is it leaking from the differential cover or from the end?

 

BD, isn't your truck still under warranty?

 

IT IS LEAKING FROM THE REAR END. THE LEAK IS AROUND THE BOTTOM OF COVER PLATE, BUT OVERALL ITS COMING FROM THE COVER ITSELF. BD

OH YEA ITS STILL UNDER WARANTY BUT DO I REALLY NEED TO TAKE IN. MAN I HATE TO THINK ABOUT THAT ORDEAL, BUT IF ITS A MAJOR DEAL I WILL FOR SURE.

 

It would be just as easy to take it in and let the dealership fix it as opposed to you. But if you really want to fix it, some 75-140W gear oil and a tube of Permatex Black should fix it right up in about an hour or so.

 

Heck no.....I'd damn sure let the dealer do it.....why not? It's free and you never know what you'll find. Pull the cover and the dealer won't touch it.

Just my .02. Good luck!

 

THANKS FOR THE INFO OLE GREAT GURUS OF THIS SITE. JUST DIDN'T WANT TO FREAK OUT. I'LL TAKE IT IN SOON. THANKS AGAIN. OUT. LATE. BD.

 

its most likely your gasket on the diff cover. mine does it too...

 

I don't understand why so many people do not want to take their trucks in for warranty work. It is free (well, you paid for it in the price when you bought the truck), so why not take advantage of it?

Have that many of you had negative experiences with dealerships in the past?

 

When the dealer does it you'll have a warranty on the repair as well, I like that.

 

NOW I KNOW WHY I DON'T WANT TO GO TO STEALERSHIP. CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING IN, THEY TOLD ME IT COULD TAKE 2 OR 3 DAYS TO GET TO IT. WAS TOLD THAT THEY TAKE THEM ON 1ST COME 1ST SERVED BASIS. NO NEED FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THEN THE WENCH ASKED ME IF I WOULD LIKE TO RENT A VEHICLE. I TOLD HER NO THANKS AND WOULD BE IN IN A FEW DAYS. THIS IS THE REASON WHY I DON'T GO TO STEALERSHIPS. THE BS RUNAROUND AND THE PUT IT OFF TILL TOMMORROW ATTITUDE. MAN ONCE THEY GET YOUR MONEY ITS HELL TO GET SERVICE. UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT. JUST MY 2 CENTS WORTH. LATE. OUT. B.D.

PS: NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS MY LAST, I REPEAT, LAST FORD.

 

 

Could be the seals. Not to hard to replace. Did them in my 02 Dodge Ram 1500.

 

Dropped The Cracker Off This A.m. Will Let All Know How It Goes With The Stealership. Although
I Did Not Buy It There They Were Good The Last Time I Needed Warranty Work. Will Post Results. Late Out. Bd

 

buy a schwinn--the rear differentials on those never leak
