Description of the problem	I had bad vibration start in the rear end a couple days before. Went to tire shop thinking it was a tire out of balance. One was, yet vibration still there. Left tire shop to take to mechanic, as i go to leave parking lot i accelerate and a big boom,then nothing. The yoke on rear end is still connected to driveshaft yet it's dangling out the front of axle at angle. Upon having tow truck bring the truck home, i pulled the cover off rear axle to find the nut had backed off the pinion shaft. This should be a recall, everything i've researched shows 2009 models mfg feb 27 2008 thru whenever are covered, yet my 2008 mfg march of 2008 isn't. I disabled and live on a fixed income. I cannot afford $800 or more to fix.
