I have noticed rear trans seals leaking on a lot of trucks. Get under there and tell us what you see. maybe it was too full?

the puddle was in the front of the garage. i just climbed under it and could see that it is dripping from (pardon my ignorance) a hose or tube on the drivers front

My 03 had a leak like that but it was coming from between the tranny and motor. It stopped after about 3 days so I figured it was a seal that hadn't seated yet.

Yup, but it was blood dripping out of the drain holes in the bed.

BTW, I too had a power steering pump leak pretty early on. Sounds like a pretty common problem.

Hhhhmmmmm...maybe. I'll have to check that...LOL.

Did you take it to the dealer yet? They, by gawd, better treat us right.
Let me know what happens.

I'm taking it in the morning. Get this...since we are SVT customers we get a free loaner while our vehicle is getting warranty work done...so i asked the question. "Is there going to be a loaner available for me?" answer: Uh I dont know anything about that but Enterprise rents cars and we have a courtasy van.. sheesh...I even got duped into paying extra 300$ for that same coverage some sort of add-on and I later read that it comes with Svt vehicles..I'm getting that cancelled.. sheesh:hammer:

Holy Crap...that is B.S. When I took my L in for them to put the hard lid on the bed, the service dept. said the same crap to me. I got pizzed and went and got the Finance manager. He brought David into it and 3 minutes later they where handing me a set of keys to an explorer to drive for the day.

Come to find out later...my situation didn't warrant a free loaner since it wasn't warranty...LOL. It made me feel a little stupid since I raised so much hell. I guess they did it for me to shut me up.

Took the truck to Westway Ford today and got a new Steering Gear Box. Hopefully this is the end of this thread.
