Anyone????

Hi I wanted to introduce myself as this is my first Dodge ever I have about 3600 miles on it. I absolutley love my truck I have had Diesels before I had a 2004 6.0 PSD F250 crew cab 4x4 I had it 6 months it was lemon lawed. I waited and bought a 2004 GMC 4x4 2500HD duramax long story short it was lemon lawed after a year so as you can see I have had my share of bad luck. I turned and bought a 2005 F150 supercrew 5.4L it was a great truck but it wasnt a diesel and I missed the noise from a diesel and the power and the tranny when towing the boat. I had my F150 6 months and traded it in a lil over a month ago for a 2006 Dodge Mega cab SLT w/cummins.

Here is what I got going on I have put the MBRP exhasut on my truck that is it so far cause Im araid to do anything else to it cause of my past history. Well this week I started noticing puddles on the garage floor and since it has been raining alot I figured it was rain. It hasnt rained the last few days so I wipped it up and looked under my truck and saw where it was leaking a clear fluid all down the frame on the driver side and around the bake lines. Well I saw it running down the front diff and I smelled the fluid and it smelled like diff fluid to me cause it has that nasty smell does anyone or has anyone had an experince like this. Please let me know thanks. Rob

It seems that you are possessed. You need to keep a bible and a cross in your vehicle at all times.

Could be a possibility but why would it start leaking after 3500 miles

That wasn't very nice!

Let's hope that the dealer takes care of the birthing pains and gets the little stuff squared away (finishes manufacturing the truck) and that you enjoy many fine years of dependable transportation behind your mighty Cummins, surrounded by the comforts of the shapliest pickup truck sold in America.
