i just unhooked my trailer after doing a craft show and the hitch was full of oil or oil like fluid . looking under my truck i see the differential is leaking....i am in tears beside myself,i need a truck and can not afford to pay for what appears to be a mistake on fords part.. afraid to drive it and it has left me without a truck to make money and no money to fix the truck./.
