Took my truck to the dealership saturday for a bumper alignment that I guess was off from factory and when I got out of the truck I smelt gear oil. So naturally I tell them to see what the problem is thinking maybe a seal is bad, and they come back and say I have gear oil sepping out of my top tube

what ever that means. With no questions asked they ordered me a new front diff but I'm concerned why anything in the power train should go out at 35k? The 4x4 has only been engauged on this truck a handful of times in the snow or dirt only and never seen any mud or pulling anyone out in reverse or anything that would warrant this. I changed all my fluids, front diff included at 29k miles with recommended weight mobil 1 and the stock front diff fluid was terrible! but I didnt think a whole lot of it because it was so new and figured it was just break in junk. The stock front diff fluid was metallic in color and stunk terrible... there was also so much metal on the magnet that it was really difficult to get it off I had to work at it awhile. I didnt change my front diff fluid in my 1st gen frontier till 60k and never a problem and my mom put 120k on a explorer front diff with never a change in fluid is this a sign of whats to come? After trying to inspect what the problem was myself by crawling around with my creaper I cannot honestly see where its comming out at but its only throwing it out on the left side of my truck all over my uca and left rim, nothing is slinging right side. I purchased a 09 model to avoid these problems.... And here I thought changing fluids at 30k was over kill, do we have polaris atv diffs in a truck making nearly 400 ft/lbs of torque?:fu:
