Recall Alert: 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 - PickupTrucks.com
so that constant left twisting motion causes the pinion nut to come loose. same reason in the old-old days they used left hand threads on wheel lug nuts on big trucks with big tires. Now, I got to avoid all the '03'-'05 style looking Rams I see on the road until this recall becomes effective in Feb next year. We received notice of the rear axle pinion nut in February 2015 however the parts required to provide a permanent remedy for this condition are currently not available. FCA can not answer how long this will take or what the solution is. 3-4-2015 Received recall on airbag in 12-2014 and after calling the FCA Recall Assistance Center the dealer said they have the part and we can take in today. Amazing what a call from the FCA can do after dealership for the last 3 months have said they didn't have the part. Im getting a new rear end and driveshaft all replaced for free My driveshaft fell out while driving down hill THANK GOD the DS just slipped out the back no harm or damaged caused to anyone besides the tow truck wait in the middle of the night...
