Description of the problem	I own a 2005 dodge ram 1500 and i was traveling on the local highway at approximately 45mph when with no warning or strange sound my drive shaft dislocated from my rear end and my back tires began to lock up. I manage to pull over to the shoulder of the road with out losing control to bad. The experience was like the whole front end of my truck nose dived and there was terrible banging and vibrations coming from the rear of my truck. My friend that came with a roll back to tow my truck home is also a mechanic told me the pinion failed and that i was going to just have to replace the rear end. I tried to just remove my rear drive shaft and place the truck in 4x4 to have the front wheels pull the truck home but the rear tires would not turn. I take care of my vehicles and i have never had a issue out of my truck until now. For there to be no warning signs what so ever leads me to believe that there is a manufacturer flaw. While looking for replacement parts on edmuns. Com i discovered an article dated 06/30/2014 titled feds probe 2005 dodge ram 1500 after complaints of rear differential failures that describes exactly what happened to me.
