This is still an open issue. He was very accommodating, but did not really want to get into this on a Newell.
I got the recommendation for a fellow guru that Clarke Power was a good shop in Knoxville. I had coach towed there early last week. As of Friday, the coach had made it into the shop.
The initial diagnosis is that there is almost no oil in differential and that there were metal filings in the case.
We will know more once they have a parts list and full diagnosis.
I will keep you guys posted as to what we find out.
In the meantime, take a look at your differential. I was able to get a good look at mine by laying in between the wheels and looking up. (Obviously chock the wheels and make sure your brake is set) Never had done this before the "incident" but after the incident, I observed a fair amount of oil on outside of differential.
I never saw any oil on the outside of the drive wheel.
