thanks

You don't have to crawl under your truck to see the number. You can just look from the side in front of the right tire.

Attached is the latest log.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone who filed a complaint been contacted by the NHSTA? Back in the early days(about two years ago) I had reported a problem with the rear center seat belt not releasing/retracting properly, and an investigator contacted me within about 30 days. I don't recall any other complaints on that issue at the time yet they contacted me.

If they haven't been in contact with any of the complainants with failed diffs, is it because they don't consider the diff failures likely to result in accident or injury?

Being it's a govt agency, I'd bet they don't make any judgement calls. If it's a seatbelt, you get a call

Diff, no call

Hmmmm... Couldn't find any sticker on my differential. My truck has seen a lot of water, mud and road salt. Must have fallen off or disinigrated.

umm, how does one know when the rear diffs go out?

You get a lot of crunch, and you aren't going to get far

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it Phug, the odds are very good that you won't have an issue. Plus it's not something you have any control over anyway.

GoodLuck!!!!!

Hi:

Do you know you report failures on rear ends in Canada. My 06 Titan was just replaced.

Thanks

whiteLE · 01-10-2007, 07:11 PM

I do not know but if you reply with your Titan information, I will add you to the log.

thanks

Thanks:

I will get the part numbers from the dealer and then submit.

whiteLE · 01-10-2007, 07:21 PM

Did you have a failure or just a seal leak? Also, what is the KM or mileage on your Titan?

A complete replacement: Checked oil and was full of metal filings, 44,000 KM

Well it looks like the rear Diff problem has hit me. Its either that or my 4wd went out. It drives fine, but when I switch into 4hi the gears just spin and clank. Any ideas? Great timing!!! We still have 2 inches of ice on most roads here in Tulsa and could be getting some snow this weekend.

Wish me luck!!!

Sounds more like front diff if everything is ok in 2WD.
