Hey guys, long time no post.
Posted a long time ago with all the details of this plagued beast of a truck, amazing how much I still love the damn thing though.
Just had my truck in to the dealer for the 300th @#%&*#@ time.
Turns out amongst other things my rear is toast, or so they told me.
I noticed fluid leaking out of the drivers side rear axle into the rim when I was changing the brakes and rotors last week.
They said they need to replace the whole thing...of course, after some chin wagging with the service manager he admitted it just needed to be re- shimmed and that the center bearings had gone. Would be much easier and more cost effective for them to just swap the whole rear end. Funny thing is I already had the whole rear replaced at 44'000mi. I just hit 73'000mi and they're telling me the warranty only covers the rears for 12'000mi or 12 months. Nice eh?
$3'500 for the replacement.
Not quite sure what to do at this point.
