OT - 2003 GMC Envoy - Front Differential

Posted by Rusty Scupper on April 21, 2006 at 08:46:41 from (70.96.196.5):

I am looking for some expert advice. The front differential went out during our last big snow storm (had it in 4 wheel). Took it to the shop and he said that their is no differential fluid, bone dry and turned to powder.

8k miles ago I went to one of those fast (40pt check) oil change places and they noted on my bill that they checked it and it was ok. I did the last oil change.

Differential fluid is sticky, stinky and would leave a mess on my floor if the seals leaked.

My contention is that they never checked it. Can I prove it....that is where you experts come in. I have pictures of the old differential and would think there would be shinny spots on there where the fluid leaked out. I can send them to some of you mechanics/experts.

Is it possible that it came from the factory with minimal amounts and would it go 90K miles? I hear that in this vehicle the shaft is always turning.

Do I just suck it up and pay the $1,500 dollar repair? Thanks
