Rear Axle Leaking

I can't believe this....My brand new '05 rear axle (4.10 limited slip) is leaking at the end (passenger side) I got to work at 4pm......I just walked outside to put something in my truck and there is about a 3ft diameter puddle of heavy weight oil and can see a steady trail running down the inside of the tire and rim. I have had it for a month and have 1100 miles on it. I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE BEGINNING OF MANY PROBLEMS. My other Cummins Trucks have been for the most part, trouble free. All this talk of injector problems, lift pump failures, death wobbles, poor fuel mileage are starting to worry me a bit.....

well at least its under warranty

as for fuel mileage, i have roughly 2k miles on my 05 dually, crewcab,

so far getting between 17 and 18. i live at 85oo ft and commute into denver everyday. so its a combo of mountain and city driving usually with at least 1500 lbs behind me.

your mileage should get better. so far i am thrilled with the gas mileage

40 to 60% better than my ford

Hey it's covered and it didn't when you were on the road pulling a big trailer or somthing out in the middle of nowhere and night in a rain storm
You must have gotten the first one made after that big party the factory had on a Thursday
I hope things go alright for you and the truck
