Differential Leak!!

Went outside this morning and found some spotting under the truck and thought it was an oil leak. After getting underneath found the Front Dif leaking. Most likely a bad seal, but the truck is a whopping 3 1/2 months old. Just wondering if dealership will void the warranty work on that because of Air charger and Banks mods.

They have to demonstrate that the modifications you did caused the differential to leak.

Where's it leaking?

You should be fine on the warranty... I'm interested to know where it's leaking from though...

The mods you did should not void the warranty. The front diff gasket is most likely the culprit... it could be a case that the gasket itself has failed, or that the bolts haven't been torqued on properly... I doubt there is any problem with the pumpkin itself being a new truck. They'll take care of it at the dealership, plus... the front diff can be bone dry as long as you don't have the hubs or 4x4 engaged..
