Well guys the dealer rebuilt my rear axle on my 03 single wheel one ton.It was howling around 60 to 70 mph.No promblem we will rebuild it they did!!!! At 200miles the thing was howling again!!! The dealer is going to do it over again said the first time the ring @ pinion was shimed at .5600 he said the specs called for .4600 don't know if thats correct or not?Waiting on them to fix so don't know if this is going to be a good fix or not.I can only hope so! I'll let ya'll know soon the dealer also said that DC trying to put it off as harmonics that can't be helped can you beleve I'm going to bitre on that? Mam oh man hpe I don't have to go the Lemon Law on them! Sorry for the long post, needed to vent later ABB :'(

I have taken it, chalked it up to experience and blamed some guy named Murphy. All that was before my 34 th B-day and I made a choice right then and there, never again will I take it lying down, now I just sit! Seriously though, if I am under warranty and they can't fix it, three is my lucky number. I have a lawyer on retainer just for these sorts of things. I just say sickem boys and girls(PC), and off they go. As crazy as it sounds for a Navy guy to have a lawyer on retainer, I do and it is a whole lot cheaper than you might think.

Why did Dodge change axles any way. My Dad's 03 4x4 has had axle trouble from the get go. They finaly got the front axle right but, now the rear axle is making a shudering noise and grabes on turns . I love Dodge but, they should have kept the Dana axles.

That is not right! After one try I would be in the owners office screaming for a new axle. Never mind a rebuilt.

once one is operated with poor set up, I think the ring and pinion are done for. Reshimming ain't gonna fix it....I am probably wrong though.

Force them to install new axel! Tell them you do not feel safe at this point. You have a big 5er to tow right?

Get it done!

Go find the owner of the dealership, and tell him that you want the axle on one of the other CTD's on the lot. Tell him that he can then sell the new truck with his "professionally" re-built differential.
