I have a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Premier AWD with the 4.6 V8. Had the rear differential replaced by a local dealer in June of 2009. The rear differential seal started to leak and there is noise coming from the rear end again. I have less than 20,000 miles on the new differential. The dealer basically told me to get f**ked. They said its past the warranty we won't help you. Any suggestions what to do if / when it goes? Are there other options for a more dependable rear end? I don't want to keep replacing this P.O.S. rear end Ford has in these vehicles. My vehicle only has 85,000 miles on it and I enjoy no car payments. Overall it has been a very good vehicle.
