Gents,
Crawled under the PW today as I was going to change the oil, when I started to survey the underside. Really the first time getting under it since buying it.
Noticed the front axle seal / boot is torn and has flung grease to the underside as a result. Pics below:
You can see the tear where I've circled, and the grease where I have an arrow. Let me know if I need to take more pics.
Bought the truck with 17K miles on it and have no idea who the prior owner was and what they did with it. I did not notice any signs of hard offroading or anything (aka knicks and scratches on the frame / differentials, etc.) and have since put about 6K miles on it.
Y'all think this would be covered under warranty? Am yet to take it off road and only turned on 4x4 once to test it out and make sure there were no noticeable issues. Did not have it in 4x4 for more than 30 seconds, but I did notice quite a bit of shudder when turning on gravel. Not sure if this is normal or not but it was definitely more pronounced than in my 2016 1500.
Let me know your thoughts y'all. Hoping this is warranty and not "wear and tear".
Thanks!
