(I don't really know of an 'improper' fluid having that kind of
dramatic effect that quickly, but WTFDIK.)
Back at the ranch, that stlr is tossing you with his "not covered
bs", as dlr done parts and services are warranted as a separate issue
whether it was done at mile 10 or mile 110,000, imo.
Vig's rec on the Blackstone lab analysis is a good one, though not
handy to do or, quick to hear the results...but, maybe worth it.
Sounds like the dlr wants you to go away. Not a lawsuit fan, but
I would fire up my barrister on this one.
Good Luck,

mD, recovering some diff fluid involves a ratchet, socket and two bolts on the diff. It should be a 5min affair for any mechanic. I don't have first-hand experience of how long it takes to receive a report once the sample is submitted, but I can't imagine it being more than a week or so considering how popular their services are. That info is only a phone call away. So totally, we're still not exceeding more 10min worth of work.
