Has anyone else had a problem with thier rearend leakin?? My truck has 26000 miles on it and I found out today its leaking. Its a 2003 RAM1500 quad with the HEMI. This should be coverd under warranty. Anyone else had the problem?? What was the cause???[8D]

 

Is it leaking, like drip-drip. Or is the diff cover a little moist from the oil coming out of the plug? Either way, it is an easy fix. Be forewarned that after the 3/36 there is a $100 "co-pay" for any work done under the 7/70. Might be just easier and cheaper to fix it yourself.

 

My rearend leaked when I almost wrecked my truck. Nothing a bit of TP and change of shorts won't fix.[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

You should really get this checked out. A bit of moisture may be nothing, but then again it may be signs that the entire rear dif is about to melt down. The rear ends on our Dodge's have this nasty habit of having a retainer clip fall into the gears and basically breaking everything. This can be quite dangerous but is completely covered under warranty. Take it to your dealership ASAP.

 

Yep Mine was like that when I bought it. Made the dealer fix it before I would sign the papers. About 23000 miles.

 

Yes, and Yes.
39780 miles and the front drive shaft seal (yoke / pinion seal) needed replaced.
And yes, for that 22 dollar seal it cost me the co-pay of 100 dollars.
If you have the patience, dropping the drive shaft and doing it yourself would save some money.

All dry and happy now....1 week later.
