I have been here since early January. So I am not a new member. And I know more about the subject than you. The Titan rear diff is overheating due to low fluid. If you put good fluid in there it won't overheat. The paint on the other hand is a different issue all together and is not related to the heat but a manufacturing problem with the paint on the cover itself.
By the way, go ahead and believe what you want. You're arguments don't even match up with what I am saying. While there may be a manufacturing problem concerning the paint on the cover, the HEAT caused by an underfilled diff most certainly will exaggerate the problem. Heat causes metal to expand thus over time causing the paint to either crack or expand with it and eventually cause bubbles. The paint tends to not contract back to the original size and shape when cooled down as the diff cover does. Eventually, the paint is no longer bonded to the cover and flakes off, thus exposing the metal to conditions cundusive to rust. Now, granted a normal diff that's not OVERheating will probably do this over time as well, an overheating diff will do it much faster. Now maybe that's not the problem in this case...I have no way of knowing just as you have no way of knowing either. For all I know that cover could have never even been painted. It wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've heard on here. Thant being said, it's beyond me why you would suggest to someone that there is nothing wrong when there have been many documented cases of people on this forum who have actually had problems. A simple trip to the dealer to have it checked out isn't going to hurt a thing. It's always better to be on the safe side.
And as far as the new member thing goes.....Look at your join date as listed in your profile....or directly to the left of your posts for that matter. According to that you've been a member since April 1, 2005....a whopping 1,2,3 days. Now, even if you've been lurking as a guest for a while you'd still be classified as a NEW MEMBER. Not a new user......new member. Maybe you re-registered with a new username...I don't know. Actually I don't care. I want as many new members as we can get here. Many new members have come along and posted some great information in their first post. I'm not knocking new members. But you should look around and see the general concensus on an issue before you waltz in and tell everybody that they're wrong. There are experts in just about any field you could imagine here and we try to take all the information and form a consensus.
One last thing, the "I know more about the subject than you" remark. That's completely uncalled for. For all I know you could be 8 years old and running back and forth asking your Daddy questions and posting what he told you. I don't believe that's true but I have no way of knowing. Just as you have no way of knowing anything about me. I know a lot more about the subject than you might think. Maybe you do know more. If that's true...well then good for you. My only problem is with the "What I Say is Right and what you say is Wrong" attitude you've been displaying. Listen to more than one side of things. You'll learn a lot more that way.
