Took my truck to Dodge to have recall items handled. I had noticed a humming in the drive train and asked that it be evaluated. The cost to even diagnose the problem was $134. I could not witness how it was determined but the tech stated on the paperwork that he believed it to be the bearings in the differential and that a rough estimate to fix it would be ~$3000. Here is the kicker, I have never towed anything with this truck nor have I carried heavy loads. I had the truck estimated with out the damage mentioned and it is worth between $8000 - $11000 retail was $28000 plus tax and doc and fees ect. it's 6 years old but hasn't been abused.
I'm really disappointed in the things that have gone wrong with the truck so far. I don't think they are built to last which at the prices they charge for vehicles today, you might expect. I want to find out if this problem is ongoing with this model truck 2012 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7 hemi, automatic transmission.
So if you have a similar problem or know where I might look deeper into this please advise
