My truck was down a qt from the factory and now needs a new ring and pinion. Must be a small batch of axles underfilled from the Dana plant.

Wow, that is extremely disappointing. Sorry you're having to deal with that.

That's crazy. So it's been a problem for a few years.

I will probably change mine out with a good synthetic fluid. It will be full and have better fluid.
