Left rear wheel seal out at 33000 miles! 3 months out of warranty. Any ideas why this happens on a stock truck? Also after rotating tires, my TPMS will not relearn properly. I go through the steps but can't get farther than the front tires before it times out or just gives up. I am having bad luck with this truck... Advice?

Ur far from having bad luck with just a wheel seal out and a frustrating TPM system. Trucks that spend more time in the sand or dirt are more prone to seals gettting torn and leaking but it happens to driveway queens also so sorry to hear you have to get it fixxed, just get it done right. If you cant figure out the TPM you might have to have the dealer relearn it for you, a respectible dealer wont even charge you for it, ours dosent, but I dont think you will be in SoCal any time soon!

haha well I have had some other dumb issues as well. This truck is in quite a bit of dirt sometimes, but I have never had one go bad until now on a daily driver. But, I have a pretty good mechanic to replace them. I think I may have an issue with the TPMS due to wireless internet equipment in the area where I tried to relearn at, anybody know what frequency range they operate in? and finally, any dealer in my area would charge, they never let anything go out the door without making money....
