| Description of the problem | Drive shaft ripped out of the rear differential. A small ever increasing noise coming from the rear of the truck when coasting. From the very start of the noise to complete failure was about 40-miles, but the noise was only loud enough to hear with the windows shut and radio off about 10-miles before complete failure. Truck is now at the dealership, chances are good new drive shaft and entire rear differential will be needed. It is entirely possible this failure could have caused a major accident. Had the driveshaft not ripped free from the differential, the rear wheels could have locked up, causing the truck to skid out of control. |
