rear differential

So my fiance has a 2009 ram 1500, it only has 140k km on it, never off road only driven to and from work in a small town and its been well looked after. Last week I found a hole in the rear diff cover after finding a large puddle of oil in the driveway. Opened up the diff cover to find multiple...

Does anyone know the exact fluid capacity for the rear differential? I've heard everything from 2 - 2.5 quarts. The other day I drained and replaced my fluid and I put ~2.5 quarts in, and that wasn't enough to make any drain out through the fill hole, and I was on level ground when I did this...

So for a while now, I've had this annoying little clunk when the truck is coming up to speed. I brought it in to good local shop in town, who I've had good service from in the past. They cleaned the splines, replaced the fluid, checked the play in the diff and it was ok. They also checked the...

Ok, I Recently found out my pinion seal was not operational anymore and also the front pinion bearing. While inspecting this problem, I opened up the cover to see that the carrier was susbtantially ground in to by the pinion. So I decided that it was time for a complete rear end rebuild. And...

Since I got my truck back, the rear end is whining and I have not pulled the rear cover off for inspection yet but I am going to pull rear end apart and put new seals and bearings for a rebuild! My question is....How do you remove pinion gear?? Im not familiar with the Dodge rear ends verses...

Bad Rear Differential Carrier Assembly Well, folks....as if I needed yet another problem with my 2010 Ram 2500 TRX4. :mad: Took it to the dealer for a few problems, not the least of which is a hard kick in the pants/back when shifting into Drive when warm. It literally feels like you've been...
