| Description of the problem | After just getting off the freeway. I was driving along going about 30 mph, when i heard this noise coming from the rearend of my vehicle. I pulled of the road and noticed little drops of oil leaking from the rack and pinion area. I got back in my truck to go home and next thing i noticed the rearend of my truck locked up and the driveline fell off. I had my truck towed to midway chrysler in postfalls idaho. It took over 2 weeks for them to fix everything. On the way home i was on the freeway and noticed the rearend was shaking and vibrating. I took it back and they noticed they put the old driveline back on instead of the new one they ordered for my truck. I had them replace the pinion seal on the truck, because it was leaking oil again after all that shaking. The only thing they could say was sorry, things happen. |
