well, I can see this over the years. I’ve never had a set of gears that makes a grind or a noise. Back to the glitter in the fluid, what you have is completely normal. The color is also pretty much normal. What do you look for diff fluid is slivers or chunks. Small tiny glitter specs is pretty much normal and to be expected.
I agree about the noise.
I have owned 20 cars or so over the years and dealt with many issues. So I don’t thing I am just hearing things.
I do have an appointment next month for a key fob program.
will call and see if I can add that to my visit.
I know the truck will be down at least for the time it will take them to figure out what’s going on.
The dealer put a stop to the deal they had made with me. Saying they had to wait for the manager to get back Wednesday.
I did go ahead and make another appointment with another Ford dealer just incase they decide not to help me after all.
Either way it should be covered under the 5 year 60k powertrain.
At the point that picture was taken I did not hear any unusual noise and I was very surprised by the damage I found. The driver's side carrier bearing was pitted and had started to damage the differential housing as seen below.
