Are you saying im a rat or somthing? And what are u talkin about finned cover i didn't mention anything like that? Im a bit confused, but anyway, i'll ask him what the dealer told him exactly soon as he's home.

I'm not lookin out for him, im just wonderin, it's a nice truck and i think he is kinda stupid for sayin he wants to get rid of it to be honest, so i thought i would come on here and see if it was indeed happening allot. But whatever guys if thats how u titan owners are....

No need to lump ALL Titan owners in with us doubters  

I checked TSB's and Recalls to see if there is a problem with this issue - there isn't. So - whatever it is, you've got us curious. And no matter what you think, it's nice of you to look after your uncle like that.

Nissan knows of the problem and is replacing rearends. The gears get too hot and start to "change". The finned diff is the same solution Nissan did on the 350s. If we had enough fluid we wouldn't need a finned diff cover. Kid, head over to Titantalk.com for much more on this subject. There are even a few Nissan service managers who have the same problem.

 i have almost 11k and no trouble out of my rear axle and i do tow a trailer from time to time. if the dealer is doing a good prep before delivery, they should catch a low oil level. but, all dealers are not the same. some do little as possible to gain as much gross profit as they can. i can attest to this since i have a mack truck dealership. hope you get your problem resolved.
