Rearend Seal

I was rotating my tires today and I noticed that the rearend is leaking at the input shaft (pinon seal) Called the dealer and they will fix it. 37K. Is this happening with other trucks?
Also ask about the transmison and they what to adjust and new filter and I wanted that also, I just flushed it 5k ago.
Are you having the recall done about the horn blowing in r?
Thanks Clifford

My pinion seal blew out somewhere around 50,000km(30k miles).My dealer also repaired it for nothing.But I feel that my seal went out because of the so called driveline viberation,for when I removed the rear driveshaft and test drove it it seemed to be gone.My drive shaft was out .053 from what the driveline shop said.So if you feel that you have a viberation in your truck at around 70mph(110km)you may want to have your driveshaft checked for trueness.Good Luck.

Mine has a stain all around the input where the driveshaft attaches to the rearend. Never left a stain on the ground, but it's seeping out slowly...
Think I should take her in???
