Default How do you know if the differential goes out?

And if it is worn out enough can you get it replaced under the warranty with no questions asked?

Are you concerned already with your 2003?

I can't imagine something so new already being worn out.

Also, as you're riding along, lift your foot slightly from the excellerator. If you here a whine, you got problems. You should be covered under your regular warranty 3/36. Extended warranty people may give you a hard time however. They usually do everything possible to get out of paying to have the job done.
