KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE. MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING INTERSTATE 35 NORTH TO MINNESOTA. WE HAD CROSSED A BRIDGE AND THE HIGHWAY WAS ROUGH. THE WOBBLE STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING. I HIT THE BRAKES RIGHT AWAY SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. HAD TO GET DOWN TO 10 MPH + BEFORE IT STOPPED. HAD IT HAPPENED GOING ON TO THE BRIDGE, WE WOULD HAVE HIT THE SIDE RAIL.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, A NOISE AND VIBRATION OCCURRED IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT OF THE REAR PINION BEARING HOUSING. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A SHOP AND THEY FOUND THAT THE PINION NUT WAS LOOSE, THE PINION BEARINGS WERE CHEWED UP, THE PINION GEAR WAS BENT, AND THE REAR END PINION BEARING HOUSING WAS SCARRED. VEHICLE REQUIRED A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. THIS OCCURRED AT 80,000 MILES. THERE ARE 17 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS ON THIS NHTSA WEBSITE ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THE 2006 MODEL. YET THERE IS RECALL #14V79600 WHICH COVERS ONLY 2005 AND 2009-2012 MODEL YEARS. WHY IS 2006 NOT COVERED WHEN THERE HAVE BEEN 17 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING ON THIS WEBSITE ALONE? PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR 2006 AS WELL.

I DO FISH A MORETHAN I CAMP BUT THE WAIT OF EITHER IS RELITIVELY THE SAME. I HAD MY FAMILY WITH ME WHEN THE LEAF SPRING BROKE. I HAVE 5 TRUCKS, I HAVE DONE THE SAME THINGS WITH ALL OF THEM AND NEVER HAD A LEAF SPRING BRAK FROM THE VEHICLE. AS I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER HE TOLD ME HE HAS ONLY SEEN THIS ONCE IN HIS 20 YEARS OF WORKING ON TRUCKS. I DO BELIVE THAT THIS IS AN AREA OF CONCERN..
