Description of the problem	As i was driving down the interstate i began to hear a noise in the rear end of my ram 1500 pickup truck. I moved over to the right hand lane traveling interstate speed between 65 and 70 miles per hour when the drive shaft of the truck came loose from the rear axle of my vehicle. I contacted my father which is a mechanic and told him what had happened and he informed me that he received a letter from dodge about a warranty recall for the bolts backing off that hold the drive shaft. I pulled the drive shaft out from under the truck and put my finger into the hole where the pin fits and the nut was still there and it had backed off the pin. When i contacted the dealership and showed them a picture the service tech's response was "[xxx]" we will get it towed in and fix it. Apparently he didn't realize it was an older truck but you would think that if the drive shaft was different on the newer trucks and older trucks wouldn't you be able to tell the difference? Fortunately no one was hurt but i am out almost 2,000. 00 bucks. I could understand if the bearings went out but dodge has a recall on this same issue and this failure put me and my family in danger.
