so about 2 weeks ago I started hearing a metel to metal noise comeing from under ther truck.... Figured it could be the breaks riding the rotor. So I set a meeting at the local dealer to have it checked out.
Dropped it off at 8AM this morning and I got a call at 3pm.. The lady says "Well it's not your breaks" She tells me that there is 1/2 a quart of fluid in the rear end
and she is telling me that there is a 80% chance that the whole rear end will have to be replaced and that I will not have my truck for up to a week or more. 
She says that this is more than likley the dealer that I bought the truck from fault and I got to thinking.. They brought the truck 8 hours up from Ohio on a truck because they didn't have a truck with the color I wanted anywhere near NY or PA. When the truck arrived at the dealer it was 7PM at night. they quickley went over everything on the truck doing a once over but I guess they failed to check the fluid in the rear end due to it being late and they didn't want to properly check everything. and so I have been driving it like that for 14,*** miles. truck had 8 miles on it when I bought it.
There is no leak in the rear because I am always checking everything on the truck and I would have spotted a leak if there was one. But the lady said we could not ruel that out yet??????????
I called my dealer and they told me that if they try to blaim this as Neglect on my part that they would have the truck towed from this dealer to the them at their cost and would make sure that the Warranty was used in this situation. My dealer did admit that they were in a hurry to get me going because I had a 3 hour trip back to my job site and it was closing time for them.
Sorry for the long story but had to rant a bit.
