Rear End cover problem
I have a 2005 F250 6.0 Supercrew 4X4. The truck is 12 months old with 13000 miles. It has never been abused and has always been on the blacktop.

I just noticed that the rear end cover appears to be rusted and the paint is pealing. It almost looks as if is has heated to an extreme temp and peeled the paint allowing it to rust.<O
My question is this, normal or not and if not what could be causing this?<O></O>
Thanks<O</O

I noticed when mine was newer that it seemed the paint was bubbling off from heat. I changed the fluid and it looked and smelled awful. I cleaned my cover up, painted it, and it's all screwed up again (many many thousands of miles and a couple fluid changes later). I may get a Mag-Hytec diff cover for it and be done with it since that would probably hold more fluid and it won't rust as bad either.
