| Description of the problem | while vehicle is moving there is a whining noise from the rear of vehicle. I've had several mechanics audibly check for noise. They all said the same thing, "it's your rear differential". I've searched for recalls and have found non. I've found close to 100 complaints about this issue. I have gone on several dodge forums and have found quite a number of same problem. Some respondents have said their "vin" produced a recall on this issue. I too would like the same consideration. This is for a 2003 dodge ram 1500 slt quad cab 4x4 5. 7l 6ft bed now with 160,000 miles. All maintenance done at said factory intervals. |
