    Once they saw brown seepage coming from my rear end, they were appalled and would not service me. Neither would my girl friend.

    I have a 16 OR w 22k and have a small amt of seepage at 2/3 of the bolt heads

    But my VIN is not on the recall so what should I do

    I have no problems with the truck no diff noises

    I don't see how that can be considered a leak without any wet residual fluid that you can actually feel or see evidence on the garage floor

    You got it!

    To fix rear end leakage, just tighten your nuts.

    Mine is leaking around the edges. Maybe I will get a better loaner. I called the only local dealer and right now they said they are out of loaners. :(:mad:

    My VIN was affected by the recall. However, after visually inspecting the rear differential there was zero signs of leaks. I shouldn't be too concerned right? I'm assuming they are visually going to inspect and then just torque down right?

    Should I waste my time and head to the dealership?
