Description of the problem	I have a 2005 dodge slt ram two wheel drive truck. 73,000 miles. I was traveling on a highway merging with another when the rearend cut loose. There is recall but the manufacturer declines to repair it because it doesn't have the fix. They want me to pay to repair it and submit receipts. If i am paying to repair with same faulty parts my expenses could grow out of sight. I was very lucky an accident didn't occur. They say parts made before aug 3/2005 are affected. I don't understand why parts made after 8/3/05 cannot be used. Also why should i pay anything. Im a working guy without that kind of disposable income. I was also told i wouldn't be reimbursed until the fix was available. Cannot get it in writing that i would be compensated in full. Please advise. I font have the vin #. My truck is at dave dennis dodge dayton ohio. I have read of this problem was known about some time ago.
