Well .. Saturday morning i go to pick up my buddy to go boating... and my truck starts making some noises from the rear end and the rear starts chattering .... I take it home and the rear end is pretty hott.... I pulled the rear covor.. to see about 1/4 quart of fluid comes out... Checked all the seals.. no leak.. i look at the covor and you can see its only had like an inch of oil sitting in it... Im guessing damn ford dealership didnt put enough oil in it... ..
So i added the trans X LSD additive.... and like 2 1/2 quarts of Royal Purple.. and it was instantly better.. as soon as it started rolling i could tell it was totally different Drove it all weekend with no issues... id like to starngle the tech who worked on my truck right now...My warrenty runs out in less than 200 miles

Well i already got it back together..
I didnt call ford.. my warrenty runs out inless than 100 miles now.. im done with there ****... They have gave me hell about my truck since i have bought it.. Ive been to 3 dealers This last one has did me really well.. intill this popped up... I guess anyone can make mistakes... But after 3 ford dealerships...im done with them...
I do all my own work... The only reason they have had the truck is because its still under warrenty..If the rear end goes out ill pull the whole rear end and regear and then send it to a local shop we have here that does rear ends.. and he will set the gears up after i install them for 50 bucks....
