POWER TRAIN
THE BOLT ATTACHING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PINION CAME OFF AND THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OFF. THE PINION WAS THEN ABLE TO SLIDE BACK AND LOCK THE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER CAUSING THE REAR AXLE AND TIRES TO LOCK IN PLACE, THE DEALER EXPLAINED THIS IS A PROBLEM AND THEY ACTUALLY RECALLED THE 2005 MODEL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. BECAUSE I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE THAT THIS NEEDED TO BE CHECKED, SEVERE DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED WHICH WILL COST SEVERAL THOUSAND TO FIX. I WAS FORTUNATE THIS HAPPENED ON A SIDE ROAD GOING 30 MPH, IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY OR WORSE YET WHILE HAULING A TRAILER, CHANCES ARE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED (SERIOUS SAFETY RISK). THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME KIND OF NOTIFICATION TO OTHER RAM TRUCK OWNERS THAT THIS MAY OCCUR AND THE SIMPLE FIX OR MAINTENANCE THAT IS NEEDED.
