It's DC's rules. If the differential broke (in any way), the fluid is
replaced as part of the repair. 3/36 Warranty covers ALL fluids, and the DC
extended ones also cover them.
The only way the fluid wasn't covered is if they used an aftermarket fluid
(BG for example). While it's better than OEM, it's not covered - only MOPAR
parts are covered.
I just rebuilt 9.25" Trac-Lok earlier today - ALL items were
covered...including the fluids.

Heh, heh,heh, maybe I was supposed to get it free, maybe at your dealership
it would have been free, but at O'Brien Dodge, in Springfield, Illinois,
NOTHING came with the LSD for free. I had FOD damage on the ring and pinion
gears, so those were chargeable. They replaced everything betweem the axle
shafts, but the only thing I
*WASN'T* charged for was the LSD itself. I even paid like $3 something EACH
for replacement diff cover bolts. They even had the GALL to insinuate they
were giving me a "deal" because it "would have cost"
almost $2k without the warranty...
I'm not bitter at all...
