| Description of the problem | The rear axle started making a whining noise that gradually got louder and then the rear axle locked up making the truck unable to be driven. I think it's the pinion nut like many other dodge trucks but according to the information in the p77 recall my year truck is not included even though the rear axle has the exact issue described in the recall |
