Rusted through rear diff. cover
Does anyone know if the rear diff cover is considered a sheetmetal part and if so would it be covered under the corrosion warranty? My wife has an 02 K2500 and I noticed fluid on the floor in the garage yesterday. Seen the rear diff had oil dripping from it so I stopped and got a new gasket, new plugs (fill & drain) and a couple quarts of 80-90W. Tore it apart, cleaned it up (lots of rust on the outside) and slapped it back together. While under there I noticed oil seeping through the COVER, not at the gasket.
Any chance Chevy will cover this? I'm out of the 3yr/36k warranty but I think the corrosion warranty is 6yr/100k. Is that right? If so any chance this could be covered?
Anyone else noticed this on there truck? I had a 99 Silverado that the same thing happened to. Unfortunately it happened all at once and I didn't notice. I had 6k pounds in tow and it didn't take long for the rear end to come unglued. Loud bang!

RE: Rusted through rear diff. cover
For those of you who may have been wondering... According to Serpentini Chevrolet in Orrville, OH it isn't covered. $36 for a new cover, seal, and hardware.
