This truck has been nothing but trouble from the day I picked it up (window trim, drivers side door glass, crappy sound system)... But the real problem started this past August when I dragged an enclosed trailer (3 harleys) about 1200 miles round trip. Upon returning home, my 3.92 limited slip was binding up at only 20,000 miles.
Took it to the dealer and told them the rear end had issues... instead of checking it, they replaced the carrier bearing. After 3 more trips to the dealer, they said the rear end was full of milky fluid and debris. They installed a rear differential kit. The binding was gone, but it shuddered terribly from a stop (like axle hop). Several more trips, Star cases, etc. and it's still not fixed - fluid is milky again with debris. Truck has been at the garage since 12/24 - now they want it 5 more days. They "finally got approval" to replace the entire rear axle assembly but have to wait on parts.

I've been Ram all my life... my last one (2014) went over 100K with very minor issues. It pulled the same trailer 25,000 miles.
When is enough, enough?
