    It looks like its been weeping a bit. It doesn't look as egregious as some of the photos posted here, but its also been raining a bunch.

    Good question. I don't think his truck VIN is on the recall list, but if it's weeping, is that something they would cover on the comprehensive warranty or would they just say it's a normal part of the truck?

    Should be covered if it is seeping a bit and not on VIN list, since this recall is a big deal now.

    Smitty is no longer on the thread watch list.

    The real question I have: have they actually freaking fixed it this time!??

    I've already had the damn thing replaced. What are they going to do differently now?

    There was one guy on here that had his diff replaced 3 times. I'll see if I can find that thread and post back here.

    We know your truck is lifted, but do you have a flashlight? :) I just checked mine like that.
