Mileage = 103,000; purchased at 88,000 with unknown maintenance history other than what Carfax showed.
Had my front and rear differential fluid changed prior to my last trip. Shortly after font diff is now making a moaning noise. Asked my mechanic who did it and said it sounds like a bearing and needs to be rebuilt. Called a local shop who rebuilds and told me mine is an AWD version of Durango and needs to be dealer serviced because lack of aftermarket parts and complexity of AWD.
Question, can changing fluid hasten a failure...I trust my mechanic put correct fluid in it or just a coincidence?
Will have to call some more places to see what is going on...anyone have any insight as I know nothing about differentials. Appreciate any info.
