Is this a dealer who is doing the repair work? Just curious, but why have
them paint the axle? Are you into Show&Shine Competitions or something? I
could be wrong also.......but do newer Daks have painted
axles?????????????????

There are gasket available I am sure, but good ole' RTV gasket maker is what
comes from the factory and what is used when doing diff repair work to seal
up the diff cover.

another dealership in town and see if they'll rectify it?
You mean the 'painted axle' thing again? Check around first to see if other
axle are acually painted. Are you sure you are not mistaking black rustproof
undercoating for paint??????

sell my truck before my regular warranty expires (got the 60K extended, but
not sure I want to start paying deductibles if its going to do stuff like
this to me)?
