I have a 2005 4X4 Sporttrac XLT. It just approached 62,000 miles and I thought it was time for a transmission flush. Decided to go to a AAMCO because a friend recommended their "Power Purge" transmission flush, complete with new gasket and tranny filter. I had them check the front and rear differential/transfer case as well. Turns out my front differential was very low on fluid and had a leak. So what was supposed to be about $150 turned out to be $400.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Am I getting ripped off? I'd do the work myself, as I do most repairs on my truck, but do not have a lift and this was more involved of a project. AAMCO said they would replace the fluid and make sure the gasket is replaced to keep further leaks from happening . . . What do you think? I want my truck to "live" forever! Any comments or advice is appreciated. This website is such a great resource!
