it was leaking, but no other real noticeable symptoms.
Decided to have oil changed and install new gasket........find chunks, not shavings, in the case.
My trusted mechanic says they're clutch pack pieces. Turns out, all but one of the clutch plates were in bad shape.
He says it was not because of the trailer.......simply a tired differential.
I got lucky given that I was up in Washington a few weeks ago....... the main reason it didn't fail sooner is probably because I baby the truck..........and dumb luck......and, I'd like to believe, a bit of karma..
