I will get my friend to take some pics when he picks it up today and post them on here.

Hey guys. *update*

 

Truck was tuned today by Justin with blackbear. He agreed that the front differential looked normal and that the tilt I'm the tilt was normal for the lift. There was quite a bit of oil all around the wheel well and undercarriage. I know a little bit of oil can look like a lot. My best guess is that that's excess oil spilling out the differential vent due to too much oil added. The shop initially burned the first set of gears because he filled up the front differential to factory spec when Fabtech calls for additional fluids added. My guess is that on his second time with the gears (on his dime) he completely filled the the entire thing causing the vent to burp up the excess. The installer did report he completely filled the differential to the top. So I'm assuming that's what's going on. As long as I keep cleaning the oil and watch for more oil (which should stop) ill be ok.

 

Comments?

Strange...I didnt have to fill my diff any more then normal. My lift has been on for 4 years and gears for 2. No issues at all...
