You should still be covered under your powertrain warranty if you are outside of the 3/36 warranty.

Give your dealer a call and speak to a service advisor, give them the VIN and ask them to verify what warranty coverage you have left.

That would be my first step.

We can check for any existing warranties for this concern. Feel free to DM us at any point and we'll go from there.

Are you driving around in 4x4 all the time? Unless in 4x4 there is little to no movement (other then the axle shaft) in the front dif to wear it out.
