Hi everyone, hope all is well,
So, I brought mine to the dealership on Monday after I noticed the "pumpkin", or what I think is the rear diff, was leaking was leaking pretty good daily for about 3-4 days. This is the report I got back from them (after two complete days in the shop):

"2 seperate fluid leaks from rear diff. Pinion seal failed, right rear axle seal failed. R and R all parts necessary and replaced rear diff pinion seal. R and R all parts necessary and replaced right axle shaft, seal and associated parts. Topped off fluid. Road Tested".

Is this a failure? Should I worry more that it won't be a permanent fix? The truck has 53K and the warrenty is up in 7, obviously. Since the fix, it feels pretty tight actually, but yesterday noticed an annoying squeek coming from the rear right side. FYI, I also intalled a magnaflow exhaust last Saturday (sounds great), but I don't think the squeek is coming from that.

I went to bring it into the dealership today and while driving there, the sqeak had gone away. It was raining pretty hard, but my radio was off and I didn't notice it one bit. What's up with that? Does anyone have any advice if I should do anything else for the moment. It would be appriciated and I am a noob, but trying to learn all about the Titans daily! Thanks.

Cheers.
