Is everything tight in the drive train? If so I'd hit the dealer if you are still covered by a warranty. Even if you are not covered by a warranty I would still hit the dealer. It really sucks driving down the road and watching your wheel pass you as you come to screeching halt.

Does the current Recall on the front hubs effect your truck. I have an '06 and they replaced my hubs. I have a friend that is a mechanic for Dodge and he told me of several cases where a front wheel broke off while going down the road.
