| Description of the problem | Today on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 a sound started at speed, a sort of whining sound. I had learned there were some problems via internet forums so i slowed down, as i slowed down the diff locked up. Luckily since i sort of knew what might be coming i was going slow enough to not cause an accident, but had i not known, who knows what might have happened. It's in the shop now waiting on parts. |
