 Description of the problemDrove my truck about 200 miles that day. Pulled into my driveway and unloaded a formica counter top in my garage then pulled my truck to it's normal parking spot. Walked back to the garage and saw a rather large grease spot. Looked at the rear of my truck and the rear end housing was leaking around the pumpkin area. Took it to my mechanic and he told me my whole rear end housing was rusted out and had to be replaced. Since this is a problem with these trucks (frame was replaced a year ago) my mechanic told me there are no good used rear ends to be found and it would require a new rear end housing. If toyota had made a recall on frame issues, why haven't they done the same with the rear end housing. A catastrophic failure of the rear driving train seems to me would be a major safety issue!!
