I just bought an 05 F-350 DRW King ranch I love the truck but it has 500 miles on it and it's leeking at the rear main seal. I am getting dime to quarter sized drops coming out of the bell housing. I can't believe it. I have been reading the posts on this sight an I thought the rear main problem had beed fixed. Ths sticker on the door has a build date of 04/05.I just traded an 03 duramax 3/4 ton. It ran great no problems but I like Ford. I may have made a 52,300.00 dollar mistake.

How long did the lube take to stop dripping.

The drops were on the ground. The truck is going in tomorrow. I hope its just lube dripping. The truck runs very well other than the dripping.

I got the truck back today. They said it looked like assembly lube but they put dye in just in case and told me to bring it back in 500 miles. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
