| Description of the problem | The rear end has been howling under power and on coast. Seen a lot of reports that the rear end locks up, possible causing loss of control or the vehicle. Heard there was a recall on this but it looks like it doesn't start till feb. 13, 2015. Can you shed any light on this , i would love to know where i stand on trying to get this fixed. I don't believe the truck rear end will last that long. Thank you |
