Description of the problem	I rarely use my four-wheel-drive on my 2006 dodge ram cummings diesel mega cab not sure exactly when it starts to happen but it was somewhere under 30,000 miles i noticed a small rattling sound underneath my truck i tried to find and locate it myself. So i went on to some forms and checked with people to see if they knew what that rattling sound could be. They all said the same thing that the u joints were giving out some as little as 15,000 miles so i checked my you joints ensure and off my you joints were wearing out i'm both sides on the front wheel steer wheels on my 4 x 4 this seems to be a common problem with the cummins diesels and especially with the dodge mega cabs seems to be a common problem with the 2006 dodge ram i would appreciate it if you would check the dodge forms in see for yourself this is a big problem in dodge refuses to do anything about it to cover their mistakes the main problem with the u joints is that you cannot grease them now mind you i work on a lot of heavy-duty vehicles mostly 18 wheelers in something like this seems like a no-brainer i feel dodge should have to compensate or replace u joints with proper ones i hope you agree for when you check into it this is a very expensive fix for a common problem is happening in a lot of 2500 and 3500 dodge 2005-2006+ vehicles ps thank you for your time and i hope you can solve this problem.
