P.S.S. This is my second Titan, the first the dealer bought back do to bad wiring and tranny.

Uuummm, if I'm not mistaken, the diff is a mechanical unit. First, what is in there that could "burn up" besides bearings?? Second, if it was a bearing problem or other component that was BURNT UP, GONE, TOAST, why was he still able to keep on driving by the dealership throwing some new oil in there??? We should all be able to fix mechanical problems by throwing new fluid in there . . . Seems to me he would have "burnt up" the diff again as soon as he left the dealer lot . . .

Me thinks the only burnt smell he was smelling came from lighting his own flatulence . . .

Gotta be one of those Big 3 trolls . . .

For the record, I did see this post on a fishing website. Of course, this claim was never substantiated by the poster:

Hey did some research on this truck today, before you started throwing stones at the big 3 you should have did a little investigating, it looks like NISSAN with there oh so good track record will be beating Ford to the recall, TITANS and transmission problems something about the tranny stalling the motor!
